Description Pierre Fortin 2016-09-19 16:18:04 UTC

Starting by clicking in message text area...

First TAB moves focus to folder list. Using up/down selects other folders; but message list is not updated.

Next TAB moves to message list which acts as expected.

Next TAB moves to QS selector; but up moves back to message list, down moves to message. For UI consistency, up/down should move up/down in the selector list.

Next TAB moves to QS field. Up inserts bottom history; down inserts top history -- both with no Clear requiring one of:
  - manual clear
  - Enter (invoking search) which enables Clear
  - Using ESC (not obvious to new/casual users of QS) -- add ESC to label?

Argh...  incomplete report...  submitted accidentally.

Next TAB moves to message pane. If a scroll bar exists, up/down scrolls as expected; without scroll bar, up moves focus back to QS entry field -- this is why it appeared stuck in QS where up/down moves through history.

That's probably enough for now...  :)
