Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect, P2)

Description

Affected versions

• 88.0a1(2021-03-28), 88.0b8, 87.0;

Affected platforms

• Win10, Ubuntu 20;

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch Firefox, access about:preferences#general
2. Scroll down to the Applications section;
3. Click inside the Search File types or applications field;
4. Press the TAB key a few times;

Expected result

• keyboard navigates through the table bellow (each row);

Actual result

• keyboard navigation - selects only first row then with TAB, it jumps over to the next checkbox;

Regression range

• regression range-wise, stumbled across builds that only selected the table and not the elements inside it; considering it as "good" to track the last changes in that area:
• last "good": 2018-10-14;
• first bad: 2018-10-15;
• Pushlog URL;

Additional notes

• reproducible with proton pref both on/off;
• setting as S4 from the get-go since this is really more of an edge-case;
• attached screenshot with the issue.

Maybe bug 1490366, which touched focus in richlistboxes?

When I focus the entire widget, I can arrow up and down through the rows and tab to get to the adjustment combobox.

Closing this, given the settings have been all redesigned and converted. If there is any issue with the new version, feel free to re-open a new ticket. Thank you!
