Description padraig.obriain 2002-07-11 12:58:44 UTC 
If I chooses the Properties dialog from the context menu for the Home icon
on my desktop and then choose the Permissions tab I can move the focus
using the Tab key through the fields in the dialog. However when the focus
is in one on the check boxes there is no indication where the focus is. I
must press space to toggle the check box to discover wheere the focus is.
Comment 1 Ben FrantzDale 2002-07-11 13:56:26 UTC 
This isn't just on the desktop; it's true of all properties dialogs.
The problem stems from the fact that the dashed focus box for
checkboxes goes around the associated text, but in the case of the
permission dialog, the checkboxes don't have labels in the usual sense.

Perhaps this would best be fixed in GTK by making the focus box for
checkboxes (or radiobuttons I suspect) with no text be around the box
itself, or else always have the focus box go around the checkbox.
Comment 2 Gregory Merchan 2002-07-11 22:34:01 UTC 
I concur with fixing in Gtk+. Afaik, the change occurred for 2.0
(to make it more like Windows?) and, IMO, is a usability regression.
(It may have been that way in 1.x and I never noticed because of my
theme engine.)

Transferring to gtk+ for evaluation.
