Bug ID: 467828
Summary: File dialogs: awkward keyboard interaction
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version: 5.1.5
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Usability
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Keyboard interaction with File dialogs is difficult. When using Tab to browse
interactive items, the focus order is deceptive, and some items do not
highlight, or the highlighted style is barely noticeable (with light or dark
themes).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a file and choose "File > Save As...". The "Save As" File dialog opens
with the File Name field focused.
2. Press Tab in order to get focus on the File Type drop-down.
OBSERVED RESULT
TL/DR: The File Type dropdown cannot be focused via Tab presses. Awkwardly it
can only be focused with Shift + Tab presses.
Also, some items get focus invisibly, (navigation arrows to the right of the
navigation drop-down, or the Locations column on the left). It's hard to keep
track of what gets focus.
EXPECTED RESULT
With the File Name highlighted, a single Tab press should give focus to the
File Type drop-down.
More generally, Tab and Shift + Tab press should allow for a logical
forward/backward item selection, with every focused element visibly highlited.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
