GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 727259
[key-nav] Not possible to suspend using the user menu
Last modified: 2015-03-18 23:15:26 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE. 1. Use the keyboard to focus on the power-off button at the user menu (in summary: press ctrl+alt+tab, choose top bar, navigate to the right, navigate down to open the menu, go to the last button). 2. Press Alt, so the suspend icon appers EXPECTED OUTCOME. Focus is still on the button, so you can activate the button in order to suspend. ACTUAL OUTCOME: Focus on the button is lost. In fact there is no visual reference of where the focus is now, and pressing the arrows doesn't do anything. Pressing ESC closes the menu. NOTES: This is the problem behind bug 722529. Taking into account orca output, it seems that the focus goes back to the stage, that is classified as the top level window from the accessibility pov.

Created attachment 275234 [details] [review] system: Keep key focus when switching between alternatives When switching between alternatives in AltSwitcher, the currently visible child is replaced with the alternative. If the original child has the key focus when it is removed from the stage, the focus is lost. Detect this case and manually move the focus to the new child.
