Build 20011112 If a toolbar contains a toggle button that is selected, it has no visual indication in the tab order. To see: - switch to debug perspective - click on breakpoints view - Shift-Tab twice to toolbar - use arrow keys to alternate between "Hide qualified names" toggle button and "Add Java exception breakpoint" push button. The latter is visible in the tab order, but the former is not.
required for accessibility. Please assign to someone else if you can't get to it soon.
Windows uses the "hot state" to show the current item when traversing a toolbar with the keyboard. Toggled items have no "hot state". Sorry, there's nothing we can do.
Is this related to the problem where a selected toggle button always shows the hot icon (even when disabled)? Could it be changed to show the regular icon instead, then show the hot icon when hovering or when it has keyboard focus? (And when disabled, show the disabled icon)? Or is it just that these options aren't available because the OS steals the hot icon to show selection?
Windows uses the "hot indication" to show focus. Tool items that are toggled do not display any hot indication so you are right, "the OS steals the hot icon to show selection".
Note that even though focus is not visually shown for a selected toolbar toggle button, it still actually has focus. The button's label and state is therefore read properly by assistive technologies like JAWS.
