113946 - Access Key does not bring focus to the field in the Rename Folder dialog

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 959

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Olga]

Build 2001-12-05

Overview: Access Key (mnemonic) does not bring focus to the field in the Rename
Folder dialog. (there is only one mnemonic here).

Steps to reproduce: Select a generic folder (like: Test). Highlight it, right
click, from the context menu select: Rename Folder. Press Tab to move focus to
any button (it shows now dotted line).  Press Alt+E (E-is the mnemonic) and
observe where is Focus.

Actual Results: The same button has dotted line on it - focus still there. The
field: 'Enter the name for your folder' does not show blinking cursor or dotted
line. You can not type anything - you are not in this field. 

Expected Results: The field: 'Enter the name for your folder' has focus and
shows any kind of visibility for having focus.  

Additional Information: Moving focus by navigating through Tab move - works.

Updating multiple bugs. This is a valid UI issue. Would be nice to have it fixed
if time allows.

reassigning to ssu.  Aaron, could you comment on this.  Currently it is very
easy to access everything in this dialog with the keyboard. The mnemonic for the
text field doesn't work.  My understanding is that we could get away without
fixing this, hence the future because you can easily tab to all fields and
buttons and there's only 3 of them.  If that's not the case, please let me know.

rethinking this.  Future is a little farther out that I want for this. Just not
this release

There's nothing you can do short of a dialog-specific hack until bug 959 is
fixed. That should probably also fix this bug.

CC'ing Chris Saari and Jag, who are working to fix 959.
