Description David Tonhofer 2003-09-21 23:36:56 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.2)
Gecko/20030208 Netscape/7.02

Description of problem:

I install RH9.0 in graphical mode. I proceed up to 
'network configuration'. In that screen, you can configure the
Network devices. I set them to 'activate on boot' and set the 
IP address using the dialog as I don't have DHCP.

At that point, I should enter the 'hostname', the 'gateway' etc.

However, this is impossible as those textfields do not get the keyboard
focus! No cursor shows up, you can click all/anywhere you want.

Pushing 'next' then gives you warnings that you forgot to set the
'hostname', the gateway etc...

I proceed to the point where I have to enter the root password.

The same problem occurs on the 'enter root password' dialog. Going 
back to the 'network configuration', I can still edit the interface
IP addresses in the dialog box, but 'no go' for the other text fields
on that page.




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


How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
This is the first time that this happens to me.

Actual Results:  Textboxes were no longer 'focusable' except the ones of the dialog.


Expected Results:  Textboxes should be 'focusable'

Additional info:

Workaround: I right-clicked on the hostname text field and
selected Insert Unicode control character Left to right mark.

Plink! The cursor shows up and I can now edit as expected.

There is possibly a problem with the initialization of the screen?
Unfortunately, I could not test other widgets once the error was
'worked around'

This seems to be a duplicate of bug 71834, reported for RH 8.0, which is
'closed' This bug is undead!

This has been fixed in our development tree. The work around you discovered will
work.
