Hi John. 1. Most of the time, after link has been activated and the corresponding package list populated, nothing seems to have focus. From an a11y standpoint, it would be helpful if *something* were given focus after the user activated one of the links on the new page. (The resulting accessible focus-related events would cause Orca to present the new location.) Therefore, is there a widget everyone can agree upon as the likely "next step" for the majority of users? If so, would it be possible to put focus there?
2. The act of getting from the Publisher combo box to the new page via keyboard is not unlike getting to the package list after a search: The user shouldn't press Tab because landing in the category tree on the way restores the package list. Using the Ctrl+L workaround fails because it, too, causes the package list to be restored. Given that the decision was made to provide Ctrl+L rather than to expect the user to know to Shift+Tab after a search, would it make sense to cause Ctrl+L to give focus to the new page in this case? Thanks in advance. Take care. --joanie On Fri, 2009-10-02 at 15:27 +0100, jmr wrote: > Michal - here is a respin: > > webrev: > http://cr.opensolaris.org/~jmr/pm_enhance_search_ui_11669_02Oct_320pm/ > bug: 11669 Enhance handling of Search All Publishers to match current UI > Spec > > I had to rework things a bit to take account of the fact that you can > now save the last Publisher on shutdown and restore on startup.
