GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 426744
Tab hotkey does not return focus to already showing tab
Last modified: 2007-04-07 06:03:54 UTC
Say I have three plug-ins in the top right, and two in the bottom. Tab 1 is active and tab 4 is also visible in the bottom pane. When I press Alt-4 to go to the fourth tab, nothing happens because the tab is already visible. The problem is that my keyboard focus remains in the focused control of tab 1. Focus still has to be moved to the fourth tab.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
