GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 106627
Keyboard focus disappears off the end
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
[gcalctool 4.2.54] When you use Tab to move the focus between the buttons, it works fine until it gets to the Exch in the bottom right, at which point pressing Tab again causes focus to disappear instead of wrapping back to the first control in the window. Randomly pressing arrow keys again seems to get it back eventually...
Hi Calum. I think you are seeing bug #60690. If you agree, then I'll close this one as a duplicate of it. Thanks.
Hmm, you're right, it probably is. This is about the most obvious example of it I've seen though, up until now I only remember seeing it in contrived test apps, so we might need to consider a workaround for it here at some point unless it's going to be fixed in gtk anytime soon.
Calum, where should the focus go after Exch, if this was working correctly? To the menubar?
Created attachment 14664 [details] Potential hack fix for this problem.
After discussing this with Calum on IRC, we decided that this bug should be closed off as a DUP of bug #60690. The attached patch only handles the Tab focus movement. There are similar problems that would need to be handled in the other directions. The real fix should be in 60690. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 60690 ***
