When the focus is on the last icon of the row, pressing RIGHT does nothing.
There is no way to give the focus to the next icon, you must press DOWN and
then x*LEFT.

Also doesn't work SHIFT as in view as list (select an icon, hold shift and
select another icon gives the focus to all the icons in between)

This is still relevant in version 2.1.3
Comment 2 Christian Neumair 2005-07-10 13:43:01 UTC 
Closing for accessibility considerations [1]. Feel free to apply the patch under
[1] to get the proposed behavior.
