Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 39192
strange tab traveling in "New database" wizard
Last modified: 2006-05-31 14:29:06 UTC
- in any OOo document, chose File|New|Database => the wizard for creating new database documents starts Note that the first entry in the left-hand-side roadmap is focused - press Tab => the second entry in the left-hand-side roadmap is focused - press Tab => note that there's no focus rectangle at all anymore - press Tab => still no visual feedback about the current focus - press Tab => the focus jumps to the first control on the tab page There are two strange things here: 1. Most important, the "vanishing" focus, which contradicts basic Accessibility rules 2. Less important, but still annoying: Why does a single "Tab" focus the next roadmap item, instead of simply jumping out of the roadmap? Basically, I see a roadmap similar to a group of radio buttons: Only one can be selected at a time. We should be consistent here, IMO: - When the roadmap recieves the focus, the focus rectangle should be put around the currently selected item - When "Tab" is pressed while the roadmap is focused, the roadmap completely loses the focus Additionally, to allow "skipping" items when traveling within the roadmap, I suggest: - when Ctrl+Cursor down/up is pressed, the next/previous item in the roadmap is *focused*, but not *selected*. This would be consistent with the behavior in other list-like controls, e.g. the file view in the File|Open-dialog, and simple list boxes.
adding the keywords to indicate that this is an accessibility issue
I just checked, and it seems that the current behavior even contradicts the specification: Accordingto http://specs.openoffice.org/installation/wizards/Wizards_NewConcept.sxw, the single items in the roadmap do not have a tab index associated with them - which means they should not participate in the tab sequence.
