Chris Bartlett commented on PIVOT-610:
--------------------------------------
I wouldn't agree that these containers are unlikely to ever contain no
focusable components on a pane/tab. Who knows what weird and wonderful apps
Pivot might lead to?
Obviously it is valid for no component to have the focus, but I wouldn't expect
the keypress handling of a container to appear to stop working merely because
it is displaying read only data in Labels. I might choose to display
categorised read-only data in various tabs or accordion panes.
I understand that this is down to the focus handling and event propagation
within Pivot, but I see this as a limitation. If the framework was currently
able to dispatch keypress events to the TabPane in the original scenario, I
would be surprised if TabPane had been written in such a way as to ignore
keypresses when displaying non-focusable children.
By all means change this ticket from a bug to a more appropriate JIRA type,
such as improvement/wish.

> Key: PIVOT-610
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-610
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: wtk, wtk-terra
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1
> Environment: n/a
> Reporter: Chris Bartlett
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> Users can navigate around the panes/tabs of Accordion and TabPane by pressing
> the system specific command modifer key plus a number from 1 to 9.
> On MS Windows this would mean CTRL+1 to CTRL+9 selecting the 1st to 9th
> pane/tab respectively.
> These keypresses are only processed if a child component of the container has
> focus.
> A TabPane might have 2 Tabs
> Tab 1 - contains an enabled TextInput
> Tab 2 - contains an enabled Label
> If the TextInput on Tab 1 has focus, it is possible to change to Tab 2 by
> pressing CTRL+2, but once there, it is not possible to get back to the Tab 1
> by pressing CTRL+1.
> This is because Labels are not focusable, and by default Pivot Containers are
> not focusable.
