>Description:
Per my mail to -current of 16 September 2011, I must use the arrow keys to navigate between the IP address, netmask, and default router fields -- tab is insufficient. I wrote:
%%%%%%%%
In most of the installer, the new dialog is reasonable, with space
select/deselecting and enter activating. But the behavior in the network
configuration and resolver dialogs is different -- it seems that I have to
use the up/down arrows to move between the IP address, netmask, and default
router fields; enter on any of them still performs the 'ok' action, even
though 'ok' is not selected when any of those three fields are selected. I
think there are several ways in which this situation might be improved -- it
might be that one of 'ok' and 'cancel' is always selected, or tab might move
between the three entry fields as well as ok/cancel, or enter on one field
might move to the next.
(I didn't do anything with IPv6, so I don't know if similar issues are
present there.)
