Description Petr Jiricka 2013-07-25 11:31:04 UTC
1. Create a new HTML5 project
2. Open the new browser switcher from the toolbar

=> It would be nice if I could navigate between the browsers in this list using arrow keys and then confirm it with Enter. Currently I can not do that.

When I going through the project properties, I can at least get to the project properties dialog using keyboard, but I still can not change the browser without a mouse. So this is a A11Y issue.

All toolbars are accessible by mouse only.
Use project properties window to switch the browser from keyboard.
Comment 2 Petr Jiricka 2013-07-29 09:50:56 UTC
Stando, please read the issue completely - this is a problem even in project properties, since issue 229461 was implemented. Clearer steps to reproduce are:

1. Create a new HTML5 project
2. Open project properties, Run panel
3. Open the browser switcher

=> No way to navigate to other choices in the switcher component

I've fixed it removing the "mega menu" from project properties window. The enhanced browser switcher cannot support keyboard navigation and mouse navigation at the same time.
