3. Tab through the controls.

Actual Results:  
Focus did not land in the edit box.

Hello am_dxer,

Confirmed on version LibreOfficeDev 6.1 from 2018-02-20.

I move it to enhancement because it's not strictly a broken feature, just something not practical with keyboard.

Best regards.

This was fixed in LO 6.3, but in 7.0 the structure of the About dialog changed again, now there is a "Copy all version information in English" button, which copies it to clipboard.

am_dxer, Alex, is that a suitable way of being able to access this information using keyboard?

This seems ok to me. I hear Orca reading "Version information copy".

Great, closing this bug as WORKSFORME then.
