sounds more like a gtk bug than an evolution bug.
Comment 2 yuedong du 2003-04-29 09:08:14 UTC 
a bug has been filed at gtk+ category in gnome bugzilla;
see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111823
Comment 3 Gilbert Fang 2003-04-29 09:29:07 UTC 
actually, when using alt-T to focusing on the "Server Type", 
one can use spacebar to expand all the options, then use the up/down
arrow to select. 

Anyway, I am not sure whether this is the best way. Is there anywhere
an  operation style to say that one should not be bothered  to press
an spacebar but directly using the up/down arrow to chose?
Comment 4 Jeffrey Stedfast 2003-04-29 15:59:41 UTC 
that would be a question for the gtk developers. I wouldn't know.
