https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449003 Summary: 'space' (spacebar) does not select highlighted buttons Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta 5 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jnelson-suse@jamponi.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Unlike very nearly every other GUI I've used, tapping the spacebar while a button is highlighted does not 'press' the button. tab and return work as expected, but not space. Otherwise, very beautiful GUI - please try to choose colors that contrast a bit more, it can be very hard to read sometimes. grey on green with black == hard to read but pretty. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I couldn't find any place where the space bar does NOT activate a button. So, for which button(s) does it not work for you? Please attach a screenshot (hit [PrintScreen]) with a sample dialog. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If you keep cycling the buttons with the tab key, *even though the button may be highlighted* does not not mean spacebar will work. You can tell because the /text/ of the button has a slight outline to it when it will work, and no outline when it won't. This appears to affect most of the screens (I did not do an exhaustive test). This is under qemu and real hardware. I tested liked this (assuming qemu and qemu-kvm are installed, and the appropriate kvm module has been loaded): qemu-img create -f qcow2 foo 8G qemu-kvm -k en-us -m 512 -hda foo -cdrom /path/to/openSUSE-11.1-RC1-DVD-x86_64.iso -boot d and it's just that easy. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Jiri, can you reproduce this?

I've tried RC1 in VritualBox and it works for me: using tab to navigate to button I want to push and activate it with spacebar. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Comment 7 is also critical here - using the tab key to cycle through the various active elements in the UI has some sort of logic error. While the cycling itself works fine, *every other* highlight of a *button* prevents activation by space bar. It's really easy to test (I, too, am a fan of Virtualbox as well....) "Boot" your install media and when you get to the user details screen (this is not the only one but it's the easiest) use the tab bar to cycle through the highlights until the Next button is highlighted. Pay special attention to the region surrounding the "Next" text *inside* the button. Now press tab again and cycle through until Next is highlighted once more. Notice that the highlight is not the same - the button is also not "pressable" with the spacebar. I'll try to attach a screenshot but yast2 logs here would be useless. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
