No TAB-ing possible in XnView's Preferences window

Post by k_kolev1985 »

HI all

First, I should say that I'm a visually impaired PC user and I'm using a screen reader (JAWS for Windows). In order for the screen reader to work correctly in windows like XnView's Preferences window, there should be possibility for the user to move between window elements (like checkboxes, edit fields, comboboxes, etc.) by pressing the TAB key on the keyboard. Unfortunately, in XnView' Preferences window, the only elements which are reachable with the TAB key are the list on the left, and the buttons OK and Cancel. I've tested this with the latest beta (v1.90 beta 1). The same happens with previous version (v1.82.4). There is no way for me to get to the settings area on the right by pressing the TAB key. Can you make it possible to get to the settings area by TAB-ing.

Thank you for the help in advance!
Best wishes!

Confirmed in 1.9b2. It is possible to go to the tabs, but it's extremely weird (mixture of TAB, cursor keys, CTRL+TAB) and impossible to control (try and error).

+1 (I'm not visually impaired, but sometimes just having a keyboard an no mouse and I'm too lazy to plug the mouse just to get to the next tab).
Some other dialogs suffer the same problem. Please differenciate between TAB (panes), CTRL+TAB (tabs) and cursor. Please also highlight the left pane when it's active (like all other parts) so I can see where I am (instead of seeing nothing is active ==concluding==> left is active).

Thanks :)
