Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2012-02-13 13:45:34 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch gtk3-demo
2. Run the 'Printing' demo
3. Select a printer so that the 'Print' button becomes available
4. Press Shift+Tab to move from the selected printer to the 'General' notebook tab
5. Press Shift+Tab to move from the 'General' notebook tab to the 'Print' button.

Expected result: Focus would move to the 'Print' button.

Actual result: Focus skips the action area completely and the 'Reverse' checkbox gains focus.

6. Press Tab from the 'Reverse' checkbox to give focus to the 'Print' button
7. Press Tab once more to give focus to the 'General' notebook tab
8. Press Shift+Tab to move from the 'General' notebook tab to the 'Print' button.

This time it works as expected.

It seems that giving focus to something on a notebook page prior to Shift+Tabbing is what causes the action area to be skipped over.

Related:

1. In the printing demo, select a printer.
2. Press Shift+Tab to move focus to the 'General' notebook tab
3. Press Right to move to the 'Page Setup' notebook tab

Focus moves to the printer name instead.

This bug not fixed already In GTK+ 3.5 with following commit?

Subject: GtkNotebook: Fix reverse tab order

When using Shift-Tab to move the focus out of page content onto
the tab label, we end up in a situation where both Tab and Shift-Tab
move focus back into the page, which is not really what is expected
when the notebook is part of a dialog.

Instead, arrange things so that using Shift-Tab with focus on a
tab label moves the focus out of the notebook.

In GTK+ 3.6 I not experienced this issue.

Hey Attila. Thanks for catching that this bug was still open, verifying it was fixed in 3.6, and even pointing out the commit. You totally rock! I'm guessing Matthias just forgot to close it. Doing so now.
