Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Bug description
In some dialogs and/or toolbars, currently Arrow keys are used to navigate between the controls. Note issue that in dialogs, all controls should be available by pressing Tab(#20056).
If there is an edit control in the set of Arrowable controls, the focus may get stuck at the edit control and it is therefore not clear if some controls cannot be navigated to by keyboard.
Steps to reproduce
For example:
- From the Edit menu choose Preferences.
Preferences dialog appears. - Select Canvas tab (there are several other examples).
- Tab.
Focus is on Default Zoom combo box. - Arrow down.
Focus is now on mouse zoom precision. - Continue to Arrow Up/Down and instead of navigating, now the value in the edit box changes.
It is not possible to know if there are any further controls after the edit box.
Note: this problem cannot be fixed until all controls in dialogs can be focused with Tab.
