Description Calum Benson 2002-07-11 11:00:21 UTC 
Just spotted two fairly nasty keynav problems with the Charmap app,
although the first is easy to fix:

1. The "Copy" button and "Characters" menu have the same access key.  This
means you have to press Alt+C twice to pop up the menu, which just feels
wrong.  I'm not sure which access key it's best to change, but probably the
Copy button, perhaps to _o.

2. This is a nastier one.  To reproduce:

- Press Alt-C (twice, see above) to give focus to Character menu.
- Press right-arrow to move focus to Edit menu... works OK
- Press right-arrow again to move focus to Help menu... it never arrives,
focus has somehow gone back to the main window, although the "Edit" menu is
still *showing* focus.

Oops, I forgot this third problem too:

- Press alt-c twice to give focus to Characters menu
- Press B or Q access keys to select Browse or Quit: nothing happens.

Fixed in HEAD, will merge to gnome-2-0 soon.
