Description Jason McDonald 2015-10-19 03:05:05 UTC

Description of problem:
It is not currently possible to fully navigate the new Product, Component and Subcomponent selectors with the keyboard.  This slows down the workflow significantly for users who prefer to use the keyboard.

In both expanded and collapsed states, the selector should respond to (at least) the up and down arrows, pg-up, pg-down, home and end keys, making ajax calls behind the scenes to fill in enough of the missing data to give a decent user experience, but not incurring the time cost of loading the whole list in one call unless the user asks for that.

There should also be a keyboard-driven equivalent of the "Click to list all components" function, which currently appears to respond only to a mouse click.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.4.9039

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a bug in Red hat Enterprise Linux 6
2. Try to move the bug to Fedora's virt-manager component using only the directional keys on the keyboard instead of typing the component name (pretend you don't know the component name and want to scan through the list of available components to find a suitable component).

Actual results:
There is no way to navigate through the component list using the directional keys.

Expected results:
The part of the list that is already loaded can be navigated using the directional keys, additional items are loaded as needed, and the full list can be loaded using the keyboard.

Additional info:
none

This bug should be fixed for 4.4. It is a direct consequence of the recent BZ upgrade and is causing our users significant frustration.

Tested on 
QA environment(bzperfweb01.app.qa) with version(4.4.10043-2, DB: psql)
Result: FAil
Steps:
1.In Firefox, it couldn't list all components by keys: Ctrl+Shift+A  when cursor located in component field.

But it works well in Chrome

After restart the test machine, for Firefox, it must Ctrl+Shift+A twice, then it could pop up component list.

I've file a new bug 1276222 to track this.
