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".
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Additional feature could be just entry box where one would type the entire location and the combobox would select the nearest match.
What the bug description requests is currently not supported by the GTK+ toolkit, related GTK bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567141
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.
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. Ales
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
