Description Kathy Fernandes 2005-07-01 16:00:47 UTC 
The arrow keys currently move focus with wrapping between the radio buttons in a
group. Support for wrapping should be removed for accessibility reasons. In
addition, as with other controls where wrapping is not supported, feedback
should be provided (e.g., a system warning beep) when users attempt to move
focus beyond the boundary of a radio button group.

See also bug #334742 which has a patch that also disables wrapping,
but leaves the radio group instead of stopping at the boundary.
