Description Calum Benson 2006-01-17 12:17:49 UTC 
The character palette applet doesn't show any keyboard focus indication, although it appears to be taking focus correctly-- you can press Shift-F10 when it's supposed to have focus, and its context menu appears; and you can also use the arrow keys and space to choose and insert characters.  You just have to work "blind".

This worked fine on a 2.6 build I have here (JDS).

This is due to a Metacity focus stealing prevention change.

The correct call to use is panel_applet_request_focus()

Apologies for spam... ensuring Sun a11y folks are cc'ed on all current accessibility bugs.

A fix for this problem would conflict with the already-present fix for bug 153971 ("focus line width and padding issues in gnome-applets").
