Tab complete shifts focus when more than one completion is possible
Status:
CLOSED: DUPLICATE

Description brian-schott 2006-02-13 11:06:40 CET
When typing a path into the location bar, the tab key completes the path you are
typing in. When more than one completion is possible, pressing the tab key does
nothing, for a second anyways. When the list of possible completions appears,
pressing the tab key (as someone would do if they are in a hurry) instead
follows the standard behavior of shifting focus among widgets within a window.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Activate the "toolbar style" location selector
2. Select the path entry and begin typing
3. When "popup" showing possible completions appears, press the tab key

Actual Results:  
Focus shifts from the location entry to the bookmarks pane.

Expected Results:  
Make the tab key have no effect, if possible. Keep the list of possible
completions active and shown.

Bug #1346 already covers/covered that problem. In short: There's nothing one can
do about it from outside Gtk once the completion appears, this has to be handled
in Gtk+ (you can file a feature request to gnome bugzilla, dunno if it will be
accepted). The only thing we can do about this is to disable the completion box,
which will only work with Gtk 2.9/2.10, as my patch wasn't applied to 2.8.

Odd that the bugzilla searches didn't turn that one up. Sorry for the duplicate.

Maybe you didn't look for closed bugs?
