Description padraig.obriain 2003-03-28 10:34:34 UTC 
If an applet which runs in a different process has focus Ctrl+F10 does not
popup the panel menu. I have observer this with Volumne Control applet,
StickyNotes applet and Notification Area applet (see bug #108327).

This does not seem to be a regression as the same problem exists in Sun's
Gnome 2.0.
Comment 1 padraig.obriain 2003-03-28 14:02:01 UTC 
There ius code in gnome-panel which purports to deal with this
situation. See the function panel_event() in panel.c.

Clearly the code does not work correctly.

Updating status_whiteboard field to reflect A11Y team's assessment 
of accessibility impact.
Comment 5 Mark McLoughlin 2003-04-04 06:29:33 UTC 
Patch looks good Padraig. I seem to have done the same thing in
panel_key_press_event on HEAD for some reason ...
Comment 6 padraig.obriain 2003-04-04 09:34:00 UTC 
I have commited the patch to the gnome-2-2 branch.
