Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2016-09-09 21:32:39 UTC
Steps:
1) Open Start Center
2) Press tab to till focus is on the Recent Files or Templates split button
3) Pressing spacebar activates the main part of the button but the down arrow key doesnt expand the menu part, similar to how it does in the toolbar

It's even worse in Windows, Tab doesn't work at all. Should I open a separate bug report for that?
Comment 2 Aron Budea 2016-09-12 01:45:45 UTC
To be precise, it's just that initially the focus is nowhere. Tabbing works after setting focus somewhere.

I can confirm the behavior mentioned in the description with 5.3 master build / Windows 7 after setting initial focus in the list.

Yes a new bug exclusive to windows should be filed, as Open File is supposed to be set focus, like it is on linux. CC steve so he can check if its a problem on mac as well.

Hello Yousuf,

On LibreOfficeDev 6.1 from 2017-11-26 when I press spacebar on Recent files or templates the focus switch from the left side to the right side. So for example when I press space bar on recent files I move on the recent files list.
To open the related menu to the recent files I have to press alt+down arrow, I assume that it is a GTK behavior.

I don't understand precisely if what I've experienced is the same as you.

Best regards.

Yes the is the correct behaviour for spacebar.

I guess this is the correct behaviour, because up and down also acts like tab and shift+tab to go between the buttons.
