Description Karice McIntyre CLA 2005-11-21 12:15:50 EST
I have a Group with a checkbox and two radio buttons and I cannot access the checkbox using only the keyboard.  

To replicate, go to File > Import > File System wizard and tab through to the options group at the bottom of the page.  The focus goes straight to the radio buttons and I cannot use the keybobard to give the overwrite checkbox focus.

The same result applies to 3.2 M3

This is odd. I tried it on Win XP, and I saw the problem. I pressed ctrl+tab and I was able to move to the checkbox. Now I cannot replicate the problem at all - the Tab key takes me to the radios first, and then the checkbox, every time.

Then I tried it on another Windows machine, but I never saw the problem at all. Tab key took me to the radios, then the checkbox.

Mac - same thing. Tab key goes to the radios first, then the very next tab key takes you to the check box.

I can't tell what sequence of keystrokes makes it difficult to get to the checkbox, but the one time that it failed, I did try arrow keys also. But I can't get it to fail at all now.

I tried on a Mac and Win2000 and used tab, shift-tab to go backwards, and the arrow keys and was never able to navigate to the checkbox on the Import File System page.

This is working on XP, Mac and 2000.  Just keep pressing the tab and you get there.  The order is a bit funny, but it works.
