Title:
  Empathy contact list defocuses on most keypresses

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  I'm running Maverick beta (last updated Sept 27th 2010) with Empathy
  2.32.0.

  In what appears to be a regression from Lucid, I cannot control the
  Empathy contact list by the keyboard. I would like to do the
  following:

  1. Press tab to change focus from the buddy list to status settings

  2. Select a status from the dropdown list (to be fair, this might not
  have been available in Lucid)

  3. Press enter while a contact is selected to open a chat window with
  that contact

  Currently, while the status text box is focused, I can type a new
  status and enter it, but I cannot open the dropdown menu. Pressing tab
  in the status text box changes focus to the buddy list (rather than to
  the dropdown menu button).

  The more serious problem is that, apparently, while the buddy list is
  focused (e.g. a contact is highlighted) any key besides up and down
  will defocus the application. I cannot press tab to go back to the
  status text box, and I cannot press enter to open a chat window with
  that contact. Even pressing letter or number keys will defocus the
  application.

  This is very annoying for me as I primarily use the keyboard. I would
  be happy to provide further information and some time debugging.
