There is no visual cue to indicate this. The only way to prove this is the hot drop-down is to use the arrow-down button to see if the value changes. The Space Bar could be used, but if focus is in the wrong spot it might cause an unwanted screen change. Created with the Milestone-3 build. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Using the [Alt]+[L] syntax will take you right to the control. The other method of getting there is to use the [tab] key, which has been the prime method of navigating a GUI without a mouse since at least Windows 3.10, and the Installer clearly supports. It's for this reason that 'tab order' is something that UI designers pay attention to. Take the 'Time Zone' screen as an example. There are nine controls in the tab order: 1: Next button (*) 2: Region drop-down 3: "Hardware Clock set to UTC" checkbox (+) 4: "Date and Time" Change button (*) 5: Time Zone drop-down 6: Unknown control (probably the map itself) 7: Help button (*) 8: Abort button (*) 9: Back button (*) The controls with an (*) are ones where there is a visual cue to indicate it is the active control. All of them are buttons, and all of them indicate their active status by throwing a dotted box around the button text. The "Hardware Clock set to UTC" does in fact have a dotted box around it, but the box is almost exactly the same color as the background graphic so I missed it the first three times I went looking for it. When tabbing around the later "Create New User" screen I noticed that the checkboxes there, which are positioned higher relative to the background graphic and have a lighter background, had a dotted box I went back and looked for one around the UTC control. It is there, but almost invisible. On the "Desktop Selection" screen, the radio-buttons have the same bounding box as the checkboxes. With the same contrast problem, but these are like the 'Create New User' checkbox in that they're high enough that the bounding box has good contrast against the background. On the "Create New User" screen, the free text fields for Full Name, User Name, and Password, all change color to indicate they're active. Also, the cursor appears in them to act as another cue. On the "Installation Settings" screen, the hot-links in the Settings list highlight as needed, and behave as you would expect. Here is a list of the controls used in the installer and how they indicate their active status: Check box: has a dotted bounding box around text to indicate active Radio box: has a dotted bounding box around text to indicate active Button: has a dotted bounding box around button text to indicate active Text entry box: Turns blue and cursor starts blinking to indicate active Hyperlinked Text page: Tab cycles through the hyperlinks, with a dotted bounding box around the hyperlink to indicate the active link Drop down control: Has no indicator The drop-down is the only control that doesn't signal its active status in some way. This makes the behavior of the drop-down box inconsistent with the rest of the UI. Putting a box around the text seems to be the way most other controls do this. Also, the box around the checkbox and radio controls needs to be tweaked so it is more visible on the "Time Zone" screen. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, I'm not sure if the fix was checked in in time to make M8.
