Description Duong Nguyen CLA 2008-05-13 15:49:44 EDT 
The DateTime widget calendar is not accessible on Mac OS X. 
   - it's not possible to navigate to the previous or next month using arrow keys
   - it does not read the month/date when you navigate around with arrow keys
Comment 1 Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2008-05-14 11:52:58 EDT 
Use Page Up and Page Down to change month and Alt+Page Up and Alt+Page Down to change years. I will consider making the month change when the user types arrow past first/last day of month - will need to compare Calendars on XP, Vista, and GTK to see what keys they support for year/month changes. (XP and Vista both use Page Up/Page Down for month change).
Comment 2 Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2008-05-14 12:56:11 EDT 
On GTK:
  Ctrl+Left/Right Arrow changes the month
  Ctrl+Up/Down Arrow changes the year
Comment 3 Scott Kovatch CLA 2010-07-28 18:49:03 EDT 
See bug 212932. This was reported against Carbon but works on Cocoa because we are using the standard Cocoa NSDatePicker.

I think this is a WONTFIX at this point.
Comment 4 Scott Kovatch CLA 2010-08-18 15:16:54 EDT 
Carbon is dead for 3.7, and this works on Cocoa, so WONTFIX.
