Filesave dialog: Tab key does not work as expected
Last modified: 2010-11-27 09:55:12 UTC
Please describe the problem: When pressing the tab key the cursor jumps to the end of the filename textbox instead of jumping to the next control. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
That's the expected behavior as the dialog does Tab completion. You need to use Ctrl-Tab to move the focus out of an entry.
It would be nice if it would jump if there is nothing to complete as IMHO this is what the user normally expects.
to clarify: with "if there is nothing to complete" I mean if I have entered a full image name like "screenshot.png" btw: when the list with possible directories appears I can select an entry but then I have to use enter instead of tab.
If you really want to discuss this, then do it in a bug-report against GTK+, or on the gtk-devel mailing-list. This is not our code.
