Description Tim deBoer CLA 2007-09-12 17:04:39 EDT
I assume the textarea and scrollbar for the description was added for usability (easier for screen readers) or to help copy and paste, but if you try tabbing through the dialog it now ends up entering tab characters into this area indefinitely. :)

Setting the read-only bit would probably fix this, but it would preferably use a different control for the description too. The constant border and disabled scrollbar are distracting and rarely used.

While we're talking about tabbing, initial focus should be on the first field, not the tab. The initial underline on the tab looks odd and means that users can't enter text in the filter immediately.

Tim, which dialog are you referring to?
Comment 2 Remy Suen CLA 2008-02-28 18:20:47 EST
For the record, the dialog in question is the 'Available Customizations' dialog that appears when selecting 'Customize View...' in the Project Explorer's view menu.

I can reproduce this on I20080226-1155.

Did all of the changes but setting the initial focus.  I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that.

Released to HEAD 20090208.

See bug 264138 for the focus stuff.
