Description Richard Hult 2002-03-21 13:36:24 UTC 
I'm not sure this is a GTK+ bug, but here goes:

When putting a widget in a GTK_WINDOW_POPUP window, the widget can't get
focus, nor its children.

E.g. the GtkCalendar in GnomeDateEdit is broken wrt keynav, since the days
don't get focused. Also when putting buttons in a popup, they can't get focus.

This might be deliberate though? (if so, any idea how to fix GnomeDateEdit?)

I suspect the window doesn't have X focus. 

Anything doing a popup and wanting keynav in it probably 
needs to do a gdk_keyboard_grab() on the popup for the duration 
of the popup.

I believe if you grab the keyboard to the window, the widgets
in it will properly display as focused, though I haven't
tested this.

See:

for a gnome-date-edit patch.
