Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26541
Navigator and keyboard accessibility
Last modified: 2013-08-13 10:29:46 UTC
1 Press F5 to open navigator inside writer 2 Press arrow keys {left or right} to move from one icon to another. Enter will put the function to work. **** But {up and down} arrows are not working so that one can move to the upper or lower row. 3 Context menu does not work from the keyboard shortcut that we have in Windows style keyboard. Right Mouse click is OK. 4 clicking the navigation by icon (that rounded one)opens up another navigation pane with options but does not stand. It comes up and disappears. When keyboard is used [arrow key and enter method] the pane is left open unless you close it or say cross it [x]. This behaviour is not steady. Please see.
reassigned to bh
I would like to add that- This behaviour holds good for 680m30 also. Further by choosing the icon for 'Navigation type' by arrow key and pressing return, makes the Navigation pane come up with focus. The first Esc closes the Navigation Pance and focus is returned to the Document text.
Reproduced on Win XP Pro 2002 SP1, OOo 1.1.2 Reproduced on Win XP Pro 2002 SP1, OOo 2.0_680 Suggest this would be Enhancement, not Defect though?
Changed issue type and set target milestone.

I rechecked this issue in Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 and Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0 on Windows 7 (32-bit version). With regard to the items in the icon bar at the top of the Navigator: only the right and left arrows can be used to move from one icon to the next. These keys also allow you to access the icons on the second row of the icon bar. (This is not possible by using the up and down arrows, as the original bug submitter noted. Is this an issue?) With regard to the context menu, I do not see differences between using Shift+F10 and a right-click. The icons in the icon bar at the top have no context menus apparently. For the items in the navigation pane itself, the context menu can be opened using Shift+F10 and looks identical to what you get with a right-click. The Navigation icon (the second icon on the icon bar) can be opened using the down arrow; you then select an item from it by moving to it with the left or right arrow keys and pressing enter; you leave the Navigation icon's dialog by pressing Esc. So is this still an issue or did I miss the point of this bug?
