Bug ID: 454651
Summary: Keyboard focus (Meta+Alt+P) does not focus over some

Panel focus
SUMMARY
Focusing elements with arrows behaves a bit strange: some elements like a Pager
get focused twice, and some — like Minimize all Windows — don't get a focus
ring at all. See the video where I focus the panel, and press Right key
repeatedly.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Make sure you have at least two rows of Virtual Desktops. Add a Pager and
Minimize all Windows applets to the panel.
1. Focus a panel with Meta+Alt+P shortcut
2. Press Right key repeatedly
OBSERVED RESULT
First, Pager gets focus 4 times in a row (sorry for the pun), two of which look
like a glitch, because they iterate over the applet twice without any visual
clue why is that happening. Turned out, it's just a second/bottom row desktops
getting focus after the first/top row ones. Some selection ring would help to
distinguish. Unfortunately, many many applets suffer from poor keyboard
navigation, so this is part of a bigger problem here.
Second, Minimize all Windows is not focusable in this way at all. Focus just
wraps to the first applet on the left instead.
EXPECTED RESULT
Pager should show some visual clues which desktop is currently focused,
especially when there are two or more rows.
Minimize all Windows applet should be focusable with a keyboard the same way
other applets are.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For an experiment, I moved the Minimize all Windows applet to the middle of a
panel, to mitigate the risk of "edge case" / off-by-one / "≤ vs. <" kind of
error. It is still not focusable, so something is definitely wrong with the
applet itself, not the panel.
