Description Jesse Glick 2001-09-24 12:00:03 UTC 
[dev sep 23] Keyboard traversal in the property sheet is cool, but I
noticed that in MDI mode with standard layout if you are in the
Explorer (KB focus) and tab a few times to get to the Property Sheet,
you can now navigate in the PS but tabbing cycles within rows and will
not return you to the Explorer (nor to the PS tabs for that matter).
Nor can you escape with Ctrl-2; this changes the title of the Explorer
window back to e.g. "Filesystems" instead of "Properties of
Filesystems" but does not actually give KB focus to the Filesystems
tab. You need to click the mouse to leave. This makes it useless.
Comment 1 Peter Zavadsky 2001-09-24 15:27:59 UTC 
The cycling in property sheet is intentional, UI suggested to do it
that way. And the way to leave it is to use Ctrl+Tab, which I was told
is a standard shortcut and should work as default.

But it seems that the Ctrl+Tab is not working the way so I keep this
issue open as problem with leaving the cycle -> changed description.
Comment 2 Peter Zavadsky 2001-10-02 14:17:26 UTC 
I tried to expect Swing JPanel and if setting to be FocusCycleRoot (in
1.3 is necessary to subclass it) it doesn't support Ctrl+Tab by
default. So I decided to give up the cycle root for Panel showing
PropertyPanel's. It seems for me the right solution.

Dusan: If you feel it's not the right way reopen the issue.

Fix:
openide/.../explorer/propertysheet/PropertySheetTab.java [1.21]

Adding 'A11Y' keyword.

It's irrelevant use Ctrl+Tab, you can travers through whole window by
Tab.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
