GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 511440
keyboard navigation problems with TileView
Last modified: 2020-03-17 08:20:39 UTC
1) Put your mouse away and use Banshee with the keyboard. 2) Enable the last.fm music recommendations so you can see a TileView instance. 3) Tab to the TileView. Problem the first: Tab is intended to move between widgets. In TileView, each tile is a widget (or something closely resembling one), so Tab moves between them. It would be preferable if Tab moved between groups of tiles in a TileView, and out of the TileView for the last group. Moving between tiles in a single group can still be accomplished with Up and Down. Problem the second: Moving from tile to tile doesn't automatically scroll when a tile group has an embedded scrolling region. This completely break keyboard navigation (and hence, accessibility), and totally sucks. Somebody should take the time to make TileView part of GTK+. It's a rocking widget aside from the keyboard navigation problems.
I am not sure if this is really a Banshee bug or a GTK one.
Definitely issues with Banshee
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
