Yes, for each panel in a window, focus should go through that panel’s header, then to the panel body (so you can select something in it if it’s a list, or else just scroll through it), then to the panel footer if there is one (such as the “Write a message” field). That should happen without any effort by the app developer.
So as long as there are no messages in the message pane, focus should flow as shown in Renato’s “expected focus path” illustration, and the only thing the app developer should need to specify is that the “To:” field is focused by default (otherwise the thread list would be). Once there are messages in the message pane (for example, you’ve entered a recipient who has previous messages), the message pane should join the focus cycle. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1659869 Title: Page header and focus behaviour To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1659869/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
