Description bugbridge 2007-02-03 02:18:55 UTC 
Original submitter: sjangity

Description:
WinXp
EE5/JDK 1.6.0-rc

- Open virtual forms dialog
- Hit the 'Alt' key
> OK/Cancel buttons doen't have accelerator keys setup

Evaluation:
I don't think OK or Cancel buttons should have mnemonics. It is against UI
guidelines, I think. CC'ing Dusan to make sure.
Anyway, the customizer is implemented by the components, not designer, passing
there.

Workaround:
User can hit the 'Escape' key to accept the changes made in the dialog.

Tab key doesn't cycle properly over all the UI elements in this dialog, so
semi-important in terms of A11Y support. --sjangity
