GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 112071
notification area breaks keynav
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The notification area applet seems to grab 'Tab' so if you enter it, you can't Tab to other items on the panel after it. Shift-Tab to go backwards works as long as you don't hit Tab; once you hit Tab then neither Tab, Shift-Tab, nor Control-Tab work anymore. -( This means keynav users cannot use the notification area.
This doesn't seem to happen anymore!
