Description Grant Gayed CLA 2004-11-22 14:40:13 EST 
- run the ControlExample, go to the Table tab
- listen for KeyUp, KeyDown, Selection and DefaultSelection
- give focus to an item in the example Table on the page
- press Space, and the following will be fired:
  -> win32 and mac: KeyDown, KeyUp
  -> motif: KeyDown, Selection, KeyUp
  -> gtk: KeyDown, Selection, DefaultSelection, KeyUp

My guess here is that the motif behaviour is "correct" since it most closely 
matches the behaviour of pressing Space on a Tree item.

On some platforms and in certain widgets, space doesn't select an item.  Need 
to check the various controls.

Grant to prioritize.

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 and remove the stalebug whiteboard tag. 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.
