356283 - Keyboard navigation indicators in Contents Pane in Options window duplicated

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061003 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061003 Firefox/2.0

The keyboard navigation indicators (the underlines you find in Windows) in Contents Pane in Options window are duplicated.  specifically:

1.  Load _i_mages automatically and S_i_ze

2.  _D_efault font and A_d_vanced (for Fonts & Colours)

(NB. Above underlines depict where the underlines are located.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load option windows
2. Attempt to use keyboard to navigate to "Load images automatically" (alt-I) OR to "Default font" (alt-d)

Actual Results:  
Focus goes to "Size" and "Advanced" (for Fonts and Colours) respectively.

Expected Results:  
Focus goes to "Load images automatically" and "Default font" respectively.

The bug affects ALL VERSIONS OF WINDOWS (and probably Linux too - but untested).  (Any operating system which uses keyboard navigation indicators).  It does not affect Mac OS X.

I am using en-gb -- is this reflected in non-English or American English (en-us) builds?

It is a NORMAL bug but should be quite critical for Firefox 2.0 final -- this is a usability issue which affects users with disability and Firefox should be an accessible browser.

This is definitely not a blocker for Firefox 2 at this stage; users can still tab between fields so it's not an a11y issue, either.

this really isn't a blocker, period.

Is this something that would be taken on the Mozilla_1_8_Branch?

Although it looks trivial, it affects locales which balloons the testing effort by 40+ releases. Not worth it for a minor polish bug --> get it fixed in Firefox 3
