Description Markus Keller CLA 2009-02-10 13:01:10 EST 
I20090203-1200, was OK in 3.4.1

After a Browser widget got the keyboard focus, it sometimes does not react on the Arrow_Down (which should scroll down).

This happens e.g. when I press F2 on a documented element in the Java editor and then try to scroll in the sticky Javadoc hover.

It can also be reproduced in the ControlExample:
- launch
- with the mouse, click the 'Browser' tab
- press the Tab key
- press Arrow_Down
=> does not scroll any more

As soon as I clicked into the Browser with the mouse, scrolling usually works. But then, Ctrl+(Shift+)Tab don't let me escape from the Browser any more. Tab without Ctrl seems to be fine to get out.

Oops, this slipped in 3.5, but it's quite a severe accessibility problem.
Could you please target this for 3.6 (or even 3.5.1, if the fix is easy)?
