Description Rich Burridge 2007-08-09 18:59:39 UTC 
This is with OOo-dev 2.3.0 (build #223) Linux RPMs on Ubuntu Gutsy
(with all the latest updates and with Orca from SVN HEAD).

I've been working through the simple OOo database forms tutorial at:
http://sheepdogguides.com/fdb/fdb1simpleform.htm

I've done everything (working around previous OOo bugs I've
filed) down to:

"You will have a simple spreadsheet-like form. You can use it to look 
at the data in your table, and to edit the data"

The problem is that there is no apparent way to navigate to this
simple spreadsheet-like form using the keyboard.

I will file YAOOoB and block this one against it.

Comment 2 Rich Burridge 2007-08-17 17:47:59 UTC 
The OpenOffice issues has been closed "worksforme" with
the following comment:

"Press CTRL+F5 to go to the first control in a form
Then you can use the table form."

I have verified that you can indeed get to the first control in this
form with this novel key sequence. Closing as NOTABUG and
signing up for a night class in telepathy (because I sure couldn't 
find this documented anywhere obvious).
