GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 114480
Menu bar focus problem
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Hit Alt-F1 to pop up the Applications menu, then right arrow to focus the Actions menu, then down arrow to focus an item on the menu. Then hit Esc. Focus gets stuck on the menu title. Focus should go back to the menubar applet itself, as it does when you focus a menu item with the mouse, then press Esc.
Marking AP2 to reflect a11y team's view of it's a11y impact.
Apologies for spam... marking as GNOMEVER2.3 so it appears on the official GNOME bug list :)
I suspect that this is a duplicate of bug 118491. In any case the behavior is correct with gnome-panel from CVS HEAD.
