Description of problem: On the firstboot Firewall screen, not only are the checkboxes in the listbox navigable, but also the text items next to them. But you can't press spacebar to select the checkbox when you have those selected. I accidentally got onto those and was confused for a bit on why I couldn't select the checkbox. There's no reason for those to be navigable so either removing that or making spacebar active the checkbox would fix the problem. This might occur on other screens as well. Obviously not a big deal, but it did make me think kbd navigation was broken for 30s or so. :) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL5 GA, found during i386 install
I am sorry, but I can not reproduce the problem. The text next to the check boxes is not selectable at all. Can you please try to verify this?
Still reproducible in 5.1 RC5. Tab to the listbox containing: [] FTP [] Mail etc. First, one of the checkboxes will be highlighted by a dotted line. If you press the right arrow (e.g. accidentally, like I did originally), the text "FTP" becomes selected. Now you can go up and down with the arrows, but pressing 'Space' does not select an item. The selection bar changes but if you don't notice that the checkbox itself is not selected it can be confusing why it's not working. If you go back to the previous wizard page, and return, you're still selected on the wrong part of the item so a user could remain confused if they don't have a mouse available. Maybe other users would figure out to left-arrow back to the checkbox, just like I did.
Is this the text or graphical version of firstboot?
Graphical - I haven't used text-mode for so long I didn't think to distinguish.
This is a gtk TreeView problem. I tried to fix it in the application, but it is not possible. Assigning to gtk.
