| Summary | 0003586: Listbox captures most keyboard events | ||||
| Description | Listbox seems to capture most keyboard events when it has a focus. Assume a dialog with: 1) Listbox (with DIF_LISTNOAMPERSAND and no other flag, but it behaves the same with no flags), 2) Edit, 3) Button with a shortcut due to an ampersand (e.g. with text such as "&Cancel"), 4) possibly other controls (buttons, checkboxes). I want to activate the ampersanded button using a keyboard shortcut. The dialog will behave differently depending on which dialog element has a focus: 1) When a button or a checkbox is focused, I can use C, ALT+C. 2) When the edit is focused, I can use ALT+C (C is unavailable because it is used to enter text into the edit, that's OK). 3) When the listbox is focused, neither C nor ALT+C will reach the button. Note that if the button also has a DIF_DEFAULTBUTTON, then ENTER activates the button in case 2 above (not sure about case 1, *some* button gets activated but I didn't check which) but not in case 3. ESC properly closes the dialog regardless of focus. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | The behavior can be seen even in code from other people's plugins, as long as they use a listbox: 1) Make sure the FarColorer plugin is installed. That should normally be the case as the plugin is distributed along with FAR Manager. 2) Go to Options -> Plugins -> FarColorer. 3) Go to Scheme settings (bottom right). 4) Notice that the Cancel button has a hotkey C ("&Cancel"). 5) Make sure that any one of the three edits is focused and press ALT+C. The dialog closes. 6) Reopen the Scheme settings. 7) Focus the Parameters listbox and press ALT+C. Nothing happens. | ||||

Unfortunately, this issue affects the Filters plugin's configuration dialog making it less usable. :( |
