Package: Evolution Priority: Minor Version: GNOME2.2.2 1.4.3 os_details: Ximian, Inc. Synopsis: Tab should work in address completion as well Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Mailer Description: Description of Problem: When typing mail adresses, evolution offers a list of possible completions which are confirmed by pressing "enter". As far as "tab" completion is very common, pressing "Tab" should have the same effect. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Tab and enter should be identical. How often does this happen? Additional Information: Unknown reporter: Lutz.Frommberger@gmx.de, changed to bugbuddy-import@ximian.com. Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
still missing in evolution-2.0.2.0.200412060900-0.snap.ximian.10.1, although i dislike the idea - tabbing is for accessing the next input field (e.g. the CC field) and not for applying inputs - this is surely the enter button. is this bug report hig-compatible at all? :-/
Basically, when press tab, the first selected thing is done. But when u scroll using cursor it should update the tab with what is being there and tab should go with the selected one which doesnt now. Also it is right to move to next tab when u press tab, since that is most expected. The selection should be fixable in the next release.
removing old 2.5 target milestone and retargetting to future - sorry.
Tab completion is used in shells. Graphical Desktops commonly use the Tab key for switching / cycling focus. This is true for the entire GNOME Desktop just as well. Evolution, integrated and officially part of the GNOME Desktop may not change this. The bahavior of cycling focus using the Tab key is a design decision. NOTABUG.
