Description Jeffrey Bruton 2012-09-30 21:45:36 CEST

Description of problem:
If you access Help or Release Notes (possibly others also) in the install screens, their respective Dialog boxes come up.   There is no way to close the Dialog box using the keyboard. The Tab key does not ever highlight or access the Close button, nor does the Esc key or any other key.  Not professional and hindrance to usability.  There should most always be a way to activate buttons, etc. using the keyboard.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot off install DVD.
2.  Look the the "Please Choose A Language To Use" screen (or any other install screen).
3.  Access the "Help" selection using keyboard or mouse, which will bring up the Help dialog box.
4.  Hit the Tab key and then the Enter key as many times as you like trying to close the dialog box.
5.  Hit the Esc key as many times as you like trying to close the dialog box.
6.  Hit any key on the keyboard as many times as you like trying to close the dialog box.
7.  The dialog box is still open proving steps 4, 5, and 6 had no effect.
8.  Use the mouse to click on the Close button.  Dialog box closes.

@tv: do you believe there will be any change? 

Otherwise, as per #c1 and #c2 the BR appears to be invalid and might be closed??

Comment 4 Thierry Vignaud 2014-11-28 16:50:44 CET

Yep.
This is standard key navigation, as in all gtk+ apps.
