Description Tommy Trussell 2009-04-02 16:33:48 UTC 
It would be cool if the focus went to the Accounts list when you click the tab so you can just start typing the account name.

When I have focus on any account line (by clicking on an account in the Accounts list, NOT by clicking on the Accounts tab), I can select any account in the list, IF it is not collapsed into a superior account, by typing the first few characters of the account name. If I leave your hands off the mouse, I can open the account by pressing the Enter key, enter stuff, close the tab with Ctrl-W, select another account, and so forth.

For example, to select my account: Assets:Current Assets:Checks Received
I can type type "checks" to select it (as long as it is not collapsed under Current Assets or Assets).


P.S.: Bugzilla.gnome.org is slow as molasses today!

Bug 378728 describes the same problem, but for a register tab. I am not sure the solution would be identical for both bugs, so I'll keep them open separately.

I've decided to mark the others as duplicates anyway. I believe the issue is the same and the solution should be similar.

So to summarize:
- clicking on a tab keeps the focus on a tab instead of passing the focus on to the tab's child
- when starting gnucash the focus is on the toolbar buttons instead of on the active tab's content
