The chevron in a CTabFolder does not work properly when it is selected. When selected, a pop-up  list appears but the user cannot type or use the cursor key to selected the items in the list.

STEPS:
  - open a few editors
  - resize the sash until only one editor is visible and the chevron appears
  - select the editor Tab and press the Ctrl-tab until the editor tab is selected
  - press the right arrow key until the chevron has focus which will pop up a window

VoiceOver will say, "Voice over On" - which is odd but then you cannot navigate and select the items that is in the pop up list of opened editors.

Workaround:
   - use VoiceOver special keys to navigate to the list
   - OR press Tab a few times until the list gets focus

This is still true in Cocoa. Control-option-space should select the chevron, but it doesn't.

I stand corrected: control-shift-option-space clicks a button under the VoiceOver cursor.

Using the steps described I can't reproduce the problem. Ctrl-tab gets me up to the CTabFolder items, and then right-arrow eventually selects the chevron. I can then use up/down arrow to select the items in the popup list. I also have no problems typing in the text field.

Note that this is in Cocoa. I'm not planning to address this in Carbon, assuming it's still an issue there.
