Description Tomas Danek 2007-05-25 14:25:17 UTC 
NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 070525)
1.6.0_02-ea; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_02-ea-b02
Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86
en_US (nb); Cp1252
-------------------------------
- invoke ruby gem manager
- push install new button
- in following dialog i'd expect focus to be in filter texfield..so that user
just could start typing.. 

really a simplefix, but has a significant impact on usability (at least for
me:)), keyboard navigation in ruby gems is not very straightforward (because
there are no mnemonics).

Reassigning this issue to newly created 'ruby' component.
Comment 2 Torbjorn Norbye 2007-08-09 23:27:57 UTC 
I think this applies to the old gem manager UI; there's no "Install New" dialog anymore. You can click on the "New Gems"
tab, but since that's a button you just clicked I think it would be wrong for it to transfer focus to another component
as a result of the click.

If there's a similar issue with the new UI, can you file a new issue with details on what should change?
