Thanks for that branch -- it looks like a good fix to bug 620506. :-) However, it's not really related to this bug, because this bug includes scrolling to things that *aren't* focusable. For example, the "Total size", "Version", "License", and "Updates" lines aren't focusable, and should not be focusable. But you should still be able to scroll the pane with the keyboard to read them.
This might be my fault, I guess, because for version 1 I asked that the arrow keys work for focusing the departments in the lobby screen (which rarely scrolled anyway), and you were copying that behavior with the GTK version. But it doesn't work so well in the software item screen, and it won't work so well if we add unfocusable elements to the bottom of the lobby screen in future versions. It also has an unpleasant side effect on both screens: if you're on a leftmost item and press Left, you end up in the navigation pane, where pressing neither Left nor Right will get you out again (it collapses or expands the selected branch instead). So, one option is for us to retire the arrow-key focusing, leaving that job to Tab and Shift Tab, and instead use arrow keys solely for scrolling. A more complex option is to behave a bit like the Elinks browser, where the arrow keys change focus if there's anything focusable within range in that direction, and if there isn't they just scroll. -- Can't scroll lobby, department, or software item screens with the keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/635994 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
