Description Matt T. Proud 2006-05-11 22:48:42 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.

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.
