Description Michael Tenenbaum 2009-05-14 21:02:29 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If more than one widget is place in a Fixed Container, tab order will be random not left to right, up to down as per Gtk standards.

Steps to reproduce:
1. place a number of Text Entry boxes with in a Fixed Container
2. 
3. 


Actual results:
hitting the tab key in the running application will produce random results

Expected results:
tab order should be left to right, up to down

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
This may be a Gtk problem.  In any event the Gnome people should consider a function to create tab order to overcome this problem.

I will be hard to convince GTK+ people to enhance GtkFixed 
behavior, its more around as a convenient backdoor out of
resizable containers for a few corner cases where resizabe
UIs dont make sence (highly graphical kiosk applications
with fixed resolutions comes to mind).

Now what you are looking for is gtk_container_set_focus_chain (),
but you bring to light here that it would be interesting to set
that up from Glade.. first we need a custom GtkBuilder construct
for GtkContainer, then we can implement something from Glade.
