The only way to choose one of the options in the Navigator dialog is by using the mouse. This violates common accessibility standards.
Not reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.3.0 RC4 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) English UI [OOO330m19 (build 6 / tag 3.3.0.4)]" My test wit WRITER: 1. open new wirter document 2. <f5> Navigator appears as expected. If you us Navigator undocked, highlighted item is active, you now can selest the desired item with up and down key, in an existing document I was able to select existing items without problems. With undocked Navigator i always saw it working in this way With navigator docked, it sometimes is a little more labor-intensive. Currently I can't see the pattern, sometimes it works as described before, sometimes, the first Item in Navigator is highlighted, but arrow keys will not navigate in navigator, but move caret up and down in the document. Currently I do not remember exactly, may be that only happened in CALC. Then continue with step 3. 3. Press <f6>, until caret is in Navigator 4. Press <tab> until interesting Item is selected 7. Use navigator So I can't see any bug. May be accessibility can be improved or Help might be misleading in some cases (pls see: Bug 33890 - DE: Help wrong for Navigator access), for such problems new Bug reports should be filed, if necessary. @James A. Schulz: "I don't know how ..." is not a valid bug report. May I ask you to read <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport> carefully? Please feel free to file new Bug reports if you can contribute exact information concerning existing problems. Thank you for your attention!
Rainer, I do not see the behavior your describe. If I open a document and press F5 the first item in the undocked Navigator dialog is immediately disabled and no use of the tab of cursor keys allows me to move to or among any of the other items in the dialog. (I see this same problem in OpenOffice).'

@James: no doubt, your problem really might exist, but we need much more information - at least your operating system, a step by step instruction, may be screenshots and all other details you can read at the linked WIKI page. Please feel free to to reopen this Bur report if you can contribute requested additional information (and please no full quotes!).
Created attachment 42930 [details] screenshot of navigator dialob
(In reply to comment #4) > Created an attachment (id=42930) [details] > screenshot of navigator dialob Rainer, My bad. I did not read your first reply carefully enough. I missed the instruction to press F6 until the focus moves to the Navigator dialog. When I do that, the Navigator works as it should. However, I cannot imagine why pressing F6 is necessary. If I open the Navigator dialog, presumably I want to use it. Why should I have to press F6 several times in order to be able to do that? Thanks, James
@James A. Schulz This is the Bug tracking system, not a helpdesk! You can get help from the public users mailing list users@libreoffice.org, a mailing list from <http://www.documentfoundation.org/contribution/#lists> or <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Local_Mailing_Lists> A last hint concerning your problem: as I already wrote, in the situation I see in your screenshotm you have to press <f6> until you see that the color of the navigator window frame changes. Then you can move with arrow right key until bottom left icon will be active, <enter> will show or hide items. For all further questions please read help or contact a support mailing list.
