It should be possible to navigate and change preferences entirely by keyboard. To this end: 1. Selecting a prefs panel (by clicking in the prefs tree) and then hitting TAB should get you to the first widget in the panel. Shift-Tab should get you back to the prefs tree. 2. Tab should also get you to buttons, where SPACE should work as if you clicked on the button. Eg: go to Advanced / Cookies. Select first radio button. HitTAB 4 times. Now the "View Cookies" button should be highlighted, hitting space should open the cookie viewer. 3. If a selection widget gets focus with the mouse, Up and Down keyboard events still go to the prefs tree: Internet Search. Click on the search engine selector. Drop-down with search engine choices appears. Now hit Up or Down. The selection should move, instead, the pref panel selection moves. 4. Mouse wheel prefs: If you give the selector focus with the keyboard and change the selection, the respective prefs don't change: Advanced > Mouse Wheel. Click on first radio button. Hit Shift-Tab. The selector now has focus. Hit Up or Down to change the selection. As the selection changes, the preferences (radio buttons, scroll # of lines) should change.
Bulk move of all Pref UI component bugs to new Preferences component. Pref UI component will be deleted.
