Summary	0020967: Issue with tab key when popup is opened in grid
Description	Let say that I have configuration as it could be seen on the screenshot. Music > Genres, Grid (Genres) view: if I click or press Alt+down to any genre in grid, the popup will open; if I press Tab key after that, nothing is happening, neither the Play button in the header nor the first album in popup gets the focus, the dashed line cannot be seen anywhere. The focus will be given to the album in popup just after one more Tab press. However, if I press left or right arrow keys after the first pressed Tab, the focus will be transferred to the previous/next genre in the grid; also, if I press the up arrow key, the focus will be transferred to the genre above the one with the opened popup. However, if I press the down arrow key, the context menu will be opened! This is wrong behavior. When I press Tab key, the focus should be given to the Play button in the header of popup, and another Tab press should give focus to the album in popup. I am not sure if this is related to the 0020796 issue.

rusty 2024-05-31 18:01 administrator ~0075662	I suggest deferring, since most users using the keyboard would just press ENTER rather than opening the popup.

zvezdan 2024-05-31 18:17 updater ~0075666	It seems we don't understand each other. The popup is already opened. The issue is manifesting after that, because the keyboard focus is wrong after pressing the Tab key.

rusty 2024-06-04 15:48 administrator ~0075724	What I meant is that if the user is only using the keyboard, then they're unlikely to use the Popup functionality to begin with (i.e. they're much more likely to use ENTER than ALT-DOWN), and so although I completely agree that this is a bug, I'm just suggesting that it can be deferred.

rusty 2024-09-17 17:27 administrator ~0077008	Tested 3054, and there remain some issues with keyboard behaviour in the grid view: 1) The original issue still occurs once Popups have been expanded/contracted. e.g. 1 Launch MMW in Music > Genres [Grid] 2 Click the 3rd item in the Grid --> Popup opens as expected 3 Press DOWN-ARROW --> Focus disappears (unclear where it's gone)!! What probably should have happened is that the Grid item below should have opened with it's associated Popup opened. 4 Press RIGHT-ARROW --> 4th item in the grid opens with it's associated Popup 5 Press ALT-UP --> Popup collapses as expected 6 Press TAB --> Focus disappears instead of advancing to the Player! Normally TAB works, but once steps 3-5 have been done, TAB subsequently always fails to advance to the Player (it's almost as if steps 3-5 cause MMW to 'lose' positioning of the view).

michal 2024-09-18 15:23 developer ~0077025	Focus disappearing fixed in build 3055. Problems with correct scroll position was always there, I did not find fix yet.

michal 2024-09-18 16:06 developer ~0077026 Last edited: 2024-09-19 06:35	So at least improved in build 3055. It mostly works ok, but sometimes still can scrolls wrongly.
