Description temp661 2025-01-14 11:04:09 UTC 
Description:
In version 24.2, when the print dialog was opened, the focus was set to the number of copies. Now in version 24.8 the focus is on the printer name. This is inconvenient, can I get the old behavior back?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Ctrl+P key 
2. Focus sent on the printer name

Actual Results:
Focus sent on the printer name

Expected Results:
Focus must sent on the number of copies


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Reproducible on my system. The focus is set to the printer name, however this could be the expected behavior, not necessarily a bug. Leaving as UNCONFIRMED.

What to return the focus to the number of copies?
After all, i need to change the number of copies more often than the printer name

UX Team -- please take a look at this enhancement. Thanks!
Comment 6 Heiko Tietze 2025-03-24 09:07:38 UTC 
This has been done intentionally for bug 161082 with focus on accessibility. Minor inconvenience for you but significant improvement for a11y.

FYI: The shortcut Alt+N (for English, otherwise Alt + the letter that is underlined for the "Number of copies" label equivalent in your language) can be used to quickly move focus to that spin button.

Thanks for the tip.
Unfortunately, this option is not acceptable for our organization.
We will consider other programs.

There are 3 lines in code that need changed and you can build your own version with the old behaviour.
