Tab-key index problems when "Name: ..." field is selected.
Last modified: 2010-11-27 09:55:12 UTC
With the save-file dialog in Gtk+ 2.8.17, the tab-key does not appear to cycle through the widgets, like it normally would. This occurs under the following conditions: 1.) Once the dialog spawns, the "Name: " text field receives immediate focus. 2.) Hitting tab does nothing but just remove the highlighting of the text. Given what I have described, it is clear that the dialog is receiving the tab event. Now consider the following: 1.) If I expand the directory browser and click on some item within it, pressing tab will properly cycle through the widgets until the tab reaches the "Name: ..." entry field. Tab should work consistently thoughout the dialog. Other information:
Tab is used for completion. If you want to move the focus out of the Name field, use Ctrl-Tab. Or turn off the Name field if you don't use it; you can do this by clicking on the toggle button on the top-left corner.
