Description Brian Ryner 2002-10-21 03:32:00 UTC
Description of Problem:

When you focus a text field by clicking on it or tabbing to it, in a gtk2 app,
the text field doesn't have a focus outline.  Not sure if this is intentional,
but I suspect not, as it could be an issue for accessibility.

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

gtk-2.0.6-8

How Reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Focus a text field in a gtk2 app by clicking on it or tabbing to it
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:

No focus outline appears

Expected Results:

A focus outline should appear on the text field.

Additional Information:
	
It doesn't seem to matter which theme I use; I see this on all of the included
GTK2 themes.  However, with BlueCurve on GTK 1.x applications, a focus outline
appears as expected.

Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2002-10-31 22:45:47 UTC
This is working as intended. Similar to the way it works in  
Microsoft Windows the focus is indicated by one of:

 - The presence of the cursor
 - The selected text being displayed in a more vibrant color.

(It's possible for a theme to specify a more Motif-like way of 
 drawing the focus)
