--- Comment #14 from Ningauble <[email protected]> 2010-06-20 14:46:57 UTC --- (In reply to comment #9) This is closed, and _mostly_ worksforme because inadvertent hovering is no longer such a problem. However, I would like to clarify: > ..."highlighted by mouse hovering" event does not steal keyboard focus, so > yes, it is possible (but how would it help our problem?) Ok, "steal keyboard focus" overstates the case, it only steals enterkey behavior. Standard behavior in a combo textbox/listbox is that typing in the textbox and selection with arrow keys are committed by Enter or Tab, and mouse selection is committed by Left-Click. Distinguishing "highlighted by mouse hovering" as a recognizable state would help by enabling the program to avoid the error of misinterpreting Enter as a mouse action. > One could say that Wikipedia has always had only one "I'm feeling lucky" > button, and now we are trying to introduce a "Search" button as well. One could say that, but it would not be true. In the several years I used Wikipedia prior to the Usability Initiative rollout there have always been _two_ buttons: "I'm feeling lucky" (Go) and "Show list of search results" (Search), and this is still the case for projects that continue to use the Monobook skin by default. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
