See description and patch attached to issue 100168 for details. The patch exposes public final boolean setDescriptionAreaVisible(boolean val); and public final boolean setPopupEnabledboolean val); on PropertySheet to enable it to be used to fix issue 100168. These are harmless and trivial changes, and it seems well worth it to solve a difficult keyboard accessibility issue.

Good :-) It definitely makes the property sheet more useful in a wider variety of ui situations.
