Accesibility: Navigate to C/C++ Perspective in Open Perspective Dialog ( pressing C key) will not work - it will go to the second perspective in list: C/C++ Browsing) Workaround: I have to use Up-Arrow Key to get to the first entry in the Open Perspective Dialog (C/C++) Tested with: - Eclipse Platform/Version: 3.0.0/Build id: 200406192000 - Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools/Version: 2.0.0/Build id: 200406210818 Just launch Eclipse and go to Windows->Open Perspective menu option. Press C key to navigate to teh first Eclipse Perspective that has the first letter C Actual: not as expected: this will jump to the second one: C/C++ Browsing Workaround: I have to use Up-Arrow Key to get to the first entry in the Open Perspective Dialog (C/C++)
PR was not targeted to any particular release. Changing target milestone to 2.1
moving accessiblity and translation defects to a future release
To reproduce the problem it is important that you have two perspectives starting with the same letter appearing at the very beginning of the list. In my case these are the two perspectives: CVS, C/C++. This seems to be a platform problem.
Actually, you don't even need two "C" entries. If you choose the letter of the first entry and the try to go to another by using a different letter it doesn't work either. More testing shows that it's definitely flakey in general. Bring it up and hit various keys...sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. But the arrow keys work... Giving to Kim for review...
I'm wondering if this is a OS/SWT issue. On Windows Vista, I can open the dialog, hit 'D' and then it goes to 'Debug' (my first entry is 'CVS Repository Browsing'). Now pressing some other keys like 'C' or 'J' does nothing. Now I alt+tab to Firefox and then alt+tab back to Eclipse, I hit 'J', it goes to 'Java (default)', and I can also hit 'J' a few more times to iterate through 'Java Browsing' and 'Java Type Hierarchy'. Attempting to hit another key will _not_ work though. But "redirecting focus" via alt+tabbing does the trick. Alternatively, pressing the arrow key once and then using a letter moves the selection, but subsequent key presses do nothing.

Its a little strange on Mac as well. The subsequent keypress works only after a 2 second delay. Any key pressed within that delay is ignored. I think that might be case with Remy (on Windows), as the Alt-Tab takes up the 2 second delay.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
