Theme name: Adwaita Kernel version = 4.14.70-desktop-2.mga6 Distribution=Mageia release 6 (Official) for x86_64 CPU=AMD FX-8320E Eight-Core Processor How reproducible Every time Steps to reproduce Checking usability/accessibility of app with Tab key and ability to move between buttons, I pressed the tab key after opening. After 26 presses, the second screen is only partially shown, after moving from the 'Join Us' button, to the 'Documentation' button and the first screen hyperlink remains selected. This happens with the transitions from screens 2 to 3 ('Documentation' button to 'Mageia Control Centre' button), and 3 to 4 ('Check system updates' button to 'read more (wiki)' button too), and at each transition the first screen hyperlink remains selected. The last transition for 4 to 1 doesn't happen from the 'Terminal' button until the focus is on the first button (Forums) in the column labelled 'Support' The same things happen reversing the sequence using using Ctrl + Tab Plus After using the tab button to cycle through the app buttons, if you click on the hyperlink to the second screen for Mageia Control Centre, the hyperlink underline is correctly updated, but the screen is blank, and also for screens 3, and 4, or After using th etab button to cycle through a couple of screens, using the hyperlinsk only moves half a screen one way or the other, giving the same effect as using the tab key. Plus I discovered while doing this that the blue focus blur around the buttons is difficult to see (using this theme?) aginst the blue application background colour, which made it hard to figure out what is going on.

Created attachment 10388 [details] Video of steps to reproduce First few seconds is tabbing through keys, watch very carefully for focus blur, second part is using hyperlinks afterwards and getting blank screens. There is no sound.

Thanks Andrew for reporting. This is bad, indeed. I wonder from when this is so bad. Papoteur

I don't know anything about how the app is created or how it works, but I'm willing to bet, from the first edition! I've referenced 'screens' for want of better application specific jargon, but I don't think there's any kind of self-aware 'container' that has such boundaries within it. Its analagous to a single web page app with in-page links: you can tab through all the links and the page 'viewport' or 'screen' will only change, by a whole 'viewport' height (or in this case, width), when the next link is within a new 'viewport'. The hyperlinks actually take you to the top (or in this case the side) of the next 'viewport'. As for the mixed behaviours that depend on where and when you use tabs between buttons or hyperlinks, it appears that the hyperlinks take you 1 full 'viewport' either way, regardless of whether the viewport contents are reasonable or not, because they have no references for what the boundaries should be. As for blank screens, well, that's just a mystery.
The application is now rewritten in QML techno. The above remarks are no more valid against it.

Great, thanks for your efforts; I look forward to using it in Mageia 7
