[Bug 635994] Re: Can't scroll lobby, department, or software item screens with the keyboard

 

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.18.1, Ubuntu Maverick
+ software-center-gtk3 trunk 2114, Ubuntu Ocelot
  
  1. Launch Ubuntu Software Center.
  2. Press Tab to focus the main pane.
  3. Press the Down key.
  
- What actually happens: "Fonts" is focused.
+ What happens: In 2.18.1, "Fonts" is focused. In r2114, nothing happens at all.
  What should happen: The main pane scrolls down.
  
- This doesn't matter so much yet in the lobby screen, where there's not
- much to read. But the same thing happens on software item screens, which
- is an accessibility problem because it prevents people from reading the
- full description etc unless they can use a pointing device.
+ This is an accessibility problem because it prevents people from getting
+ to all the features, reading the full description etc., unless they can
+ use a pointing device.
