Description Matthias Clasen 2001-08-01 11:33:09 UTC 
Some problems with menu keyboard navigation:
- It would be nice if moving into a submenu would skip the first menu
  item if its a tearoff item (Motif does this).
- If a submenu pops up to the left because theres too little room to 
  the right, I still have to press the right arrow to move into it. 
  Irritating. I think there is already a bug with a patch for left/right
  flipping of menus which may address this, will have to look it up.
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2001-08-01 11:41:44 UTC 
#51040 has a patch regarding submenu arrows and left/right cascade.

	* gtk/gtkmenushell.c (_gtk_menu_shell_select_first): 
	Non-exported _gtk_menu_select_first() function that
	selects the first item of the menu in a standard
	way. (Skipping tearoffs.)

	* gtk/gtkmenushell.c gtk/gtkentry.c gtk/gtktextview.c
	gtkmenuitem.c: Use _gtk_menu_shell_select_first().

Extends the earlier tearoff item skipping to happen consistently.
Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2002-02-03 01:53:30 UTC 
The referenced patch about cascads is actually bug 51042
Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2002-03-25 23:27:33 UTC 
Moving non-critical or hard to fix bugs to 2.0.2
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2002-04-05 13:35:35 UTC 
Move open bugs from milestones 2.0.[012] -- > 2.0.3, since 2.0.2 is already out.

(Just adding comments in response to Owen's recent "should we fix 
for 2.2" email)

Re the 'have to press right arrow' issue, I was surprised to find 
that both Mac and Windows also force you to press the right-arrow 
key in this situation, so I guess this shouldn't present a new 
problem to users familiar with other desktops.
Comment 9 Owen Taylor 2002-12-10 02:11:37 UTC 
I think we should go with consistency here.
Comment 10 Owen Taylor 2002-12-10 02:12:23 UTC 
Reopening to close FIXED, since there was a fix earlier...
