Description Robert Scheck 2009-09-01 14:20:09 UTC

Description of problem:
Timezone selection doesn't honor keyboard hits like "E" for "Europe". I have
to use Page up/down or the cursor keys which is much slower rather simply a
"E" for "Europe" and then switch down to "Europe/Berlin".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Anaconda of Fedora 11 (i386) final via Netinstall.

How reproducible:
Everytime, see above.

Actual results:
Timezone selection doesn't honor keyboard hits like "E" for "Europe"

Expected results:
Timeselection honoring keyboard pressings to move forward to e.g. "Europe".

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2010-07-30 10:43:29 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.

Comment 2 Ales Kozumplik 2010-10-14 08:36:13 UTC

Additional feature could be just entry box where one would type the entire location and the combobox would select the nearest match.

Comment 3 Ales Kozumplik 2010-10-19 13:00:39 UTC

What the bug description requests is currently not supported by the GTK+ toolkit, related GTK bug:

Comment 4 Ales Kozumplik 2010-10-25 07:25:50 UTC

Fixed rawhide by f320196644bac05f80a9e30490081179fd173516.

The change makes anaconda use the entire s-c-date timezone page instead. Quick search-as-you-type in the list is supported.

Thanks, Chris, and sorry for reporting duplicately.

Comment 7 Ales Kozumplik 2011-03-23 08:10:29 UTC

Pavel,

if the keypresses are not working for you please open a bug against system-config-date. It is really difficult to select e.g. 'Paris' if the selector is within the expanded 'North America' folder.

Hi Ales,

in system-config-date, it soft of works. I mean, it's not perfect from the keyboard user perspective, but at least it responds to typing first letters of continents and after opening with a plus key (I wonder why space, enter, and/or right arrow don't do anything), you can try again with the first letters of a city.

I was reporting against Fedora 14 and I'm happy that future versions will work at least like system-config-date.

Cheers,

Pavel
