Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.20.1-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
My root-cause problem is that Touchpad settings are not focusable and
not traversable using a keyboard, as a result I have lost the only pointing
device on the computer.
AFAIK this GUI problem could easily be fixed by allowing the touchpad settings
to be focusable and tab-traversable, but somehow it is not so by default.
I see no reason to restrict the keyboard focus as it is currently.
* What led up to the situation?
I was changing the speed of touchpad and disabled the touchpad by
accidentally
ticking the On/Off widget.
There is no other pointing device on this laptop and hence I could not
re-enable the touchpad by pointing at the On/Off widget.
Moreover I could not access On/Off widget by traversing widgets using TAB
key because the touchpad settings cannot receive the focus.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I was lucky to borrow a USB mouse and re-enabled the touchpad.
I might not be lucky at other times..
* What was the outcome of this action?
Left stuck without any pointing device.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Touchpad settings to be focusable and tab traversable so that I could
use my keyboard to adjust the settings.
It's crazy that touchpad settings can be adjusted only by a touchpad
itself.
