------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 30 02:02:34 -0800 2005 ------- It's not possible (or at least obvious) to get the focus to child windows such as the Style Catalog (F11) with the keyboard. The windows open nicely, but it's not possible to get to them from the keyboard. This is a usability issue for experienced users, and of course a big accessibility problem. If I remember correctly, this worked just fine in 2.0, where the child windows were just normal windows switchable with Alt+Tab. Focusing broke entirely in about m136, where it wasn't possible to get the focus properly even with the mouse. That problem seems to have been fixed in 680m142, but the keyboard problem remains. If there's some obscure key to switch to the child windows (I don't know if there is), it's way too unobvious to the user. At least I can't find a key binding for it. And just switching windows should use standard key bindings, not some obscurity. The problem might be Window Manager specific, I don't know, but it occurs at least in KDE with KWM in RH9, FC4, and Kubuntu. I hope the "framework/ui" is the proper module, if not, please move this. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
