Description Karice McIntyre CLA 2001-10-11 14:23:49 EDT
mnemonics do not work on tabbed pages.

STEPS:
*Ctrl+H to bring up search dialog; page that shows is Text page
*Hit Alt + v to go to Java page
BUG: does not go to Java page

You can also see this on the Java Build Path properties page of 
a Java project.

	On Linux, you see the ampersands (&) in the labels on the tabbed pages which 
	looks worse than Windows, where you see the underscore but nothing happens 
	when you use the accelerator keys.

	McQ (9/20/2001 9:51:01 AM) -
		Mnemonics (note correct spelling) aren't currently supported on TabFolders or CTabFolders. 
		For the R1.0 timeframe, the recommendation is to find and remove any attempts to
		use mnemonics on folder tabs. If this feature is required, say for accessibility, it should 
		be entered as a DCR for the R2.0 release.

	KH (9/20/2001 10:14:58 AM)

		Changing catalogs at this late state is not going to be well received and may require changes from
	multiple teams.  Is is possible for SWT to put in a workaround to strip the mnemonics (note correct spelling) .

Oddly enough, in 136 (linux) I no longer see all of the &s.  There is one exception: the 
Se&arch Expresison label on each of the tabbed pages in the Search dialog.

Assigning to SWT owner.
Comment 2 DJ Houghton CLA 2001-10-29 16:42:12 EST
PRODUCT VERSION:
135 all platforms
(however, it looks bad on Linux because you can see the &'s, see my first note below)

Fixed quite a while ago for 2.0.
