the Leave Open/Close When Done icon in the d/l window should remain enabled. when i click Leave Open, it turns to Close When Done --and also becomes greyed-out. because of this, you cannot tab to that disabled icon.
note: even tho' it's disabled, you can still mouseclick the Close When Done icon.
spinoff from bug 160333 - Make buttons in download dialog usable from keyboard
While we're on this topic, I think the labelling of the "Leave Open/Close When Done" icon is ambiguous and possibly even counter-intuitive. For example: is the user to understand that when it says "Leave Open" it is saying that it WILL leave the window open (in which case the button is actually serving as a status indicator), or is it saying that one needs to PRESS the button in order for it to leave the window open (in effect the button is then serving as a controller...) Most other toolbar buttons have a clear action->effect relationship, so if it says "Print" then you know that pressing it will print something. In the case of the present button, though, pressing it actually has the opposite effect (Clicking on "Leave Open" will result in the window NOT being left open). Sure, Chimera users will quickly learn what this button means, but I don't believe they SHOULD have to learn: it should be immediately evident. (They shouldn't have to think! :-) As such, I think the wording of the button should be changed to something unambiguous (in which case it becomes hard to think of something that is both concise and unambiguous) OR we should ditch the button entirely (because this kind of functionality should really be a checkbox in the body of the dialog, not in the toolbar). At this stage I favour the later solution.
Either move this into the window's content region in the form of a checkbox control, or make the toolbar item a checkbox (since toolbars can have standard controls).
