Focusing the account list and scrolling with the arrow keys is failing most of the time.

Pressing arrow keys to scroll up or down works only once and then nothing happens after. *Sometimes* it scrolls further when not pressing multiple times but keeping the key pressed (not reliably though).

Pressing space or enter to activate the default action doesn't work either after that happened.

Happens atleast on Windows (All).

This looks like a regression, I think (but haven't verified) that it worked right on 0.2.
I can confirm the bug on Mac too.

The regression happened when the mozilla2 branch was merged as it seems, after changeset 1314:a3858c8a849f and before changeset 1322:c0d6076bffb8.

Working:
version 0.3a1pre (20100910041647), Gecko 1.9.2.10pre (20100910041647), libpurple 2.6.6

Not working:
version 0.3a1pre (20100912154115), Gecko 2.0b6pre (20100912154115), libpurple 2.6.6

There was no nightly on 2010-09-11 by the way.

The modifiers listed here relate to Windows.


When the problem occurs:

 Broken keys:
  tab, arrow keys, page up, page down.

 Working keys:
  Short cuts, namely
    Alt+L for "Close",
    Alt+N for "New Account",
    Alt+D for "Delete" on the selected account,
    Alt+I for "Disconnect" on the selected account,
    Alt+O for "Connect" on the selected account,
    Alt+P for "Properties" on the selected account,
    Alt+S for "Sign-on at startup" checkbox of the selected account,
    Alt+Shift+A for "Close account manager" (no UI representation),
    Esc for "Close account manager" (no UI representation).

    In short: all shortcuts work.
