Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-05-21 09:19:45 EDT 
On Linux motif you cannot switch between tabs of a tabbed notebook using the
keyboard only. This does work on Windows

STEPS
1) Open a tabbed notebook on Windows 2000.
2) Tab until you get focus on the tab
3) Hit the right arrow - it will go to the next tab\
4) Open a tabbed notebook on Linux motif
5) Tab until you get focus on the tab
6) Hit the right arrow - nothing will happen

What widget is a "tabbed notebook"? If it's a CTabFolder, it would be odd 
that you aren't getting the same behavior as on windows. If it's a 
TabFolder, then this may require an OS workaround, and depending on 
how much time we have, may need to be defered.

You can see this using the SWT Examples. If you open up the SWT Controls example
it is not possible to navigate the tabs with the keyboard there.
