This is accessibility issue.
Comment 3 Jiri Kovalsky 2002-01-10 11:30:16 UTC
The same problem with missing mnemonics applies to "Previous" and
"Next" buttons. Include them into the fix too.

Comment 9 Jiri Kovalsky 2002-01-10 12:40:51 UTC
One more problem forgot to mention. "Prompt for Input on Each
Successive File" checkbox does not have any mnemonic assigned too.
Don't forget to fix this as well. Thanks.
Comment 10 Martin Entlicher 2002-01-10 13:15:05 UTC
Mnemonics for Next, Previous, Set/Get Default Values added.
Comment 11 Martin Entlicher 2002-01-10 13:26:49 UTC
Moved to vcscore, mnemonic for Prompt for Input on Each Successive
File" checkbox added.
Set to "E", Richard feel free to change it. Please take care, that "E"
menmonic will also not appear among commands input descriptors.
Comment 12 Martin Entlicher 2002-01-10 13:45:00 UTC
The accessibility added as well. Forgot to add them before.

Trying to set the accessibility for the overall dialog...
Comment 13 Martin Entlicher 2002-01-10 13:57:49 UTC
Hopefully fixed. The accessibility for the overall dialog is set in
CommandExecutorSupport. Please test whether it's O.K. now.
Comment 14 Jiri Kovalsky 2002-01-11 16:14:22 UTC
Cool. It really seems to be fixed. Thank you very much, Martin.
Verified in development build of NetBeans 3.3.1 RC1.
Comment 15 dmladek 2002-01-16 10:27:14 UTC
There is also a "Select" button on some dialogs too.
It was forgoten and I think that it belong to this issue too.
So I reopening this bug:
========================

The button needs a mnemonic but does not require an a11y description.
The button occurers on those dialogs (hope that it is a complete list):
*Commit*
*Update*
*History*
*Export*
*Lock*
*UnLock*
*Merge*
*Remove Tag*
*Diff*
*Patch*

Comment 16 Martin Entlicher 2002-01-21 16:52:55 UTC
The problem with "Select" buttons is the same as with "Browse"
buttons. There might be (and in some dialogs there really are) more
than one of these buttons. Therefore it's almost impossible to set
mnemonics for them, that do not collide with other components.

These buttons are accessible via TAB and SPACE. Hope this is enough.
What do you think Richard? Do you consider this as sufficient? Can we
mark this as fixed again?

Comment 17 Richard Gregor 2002-01-21 16:57:01 UTC
Yes, I agree. Good work, thanks!
Comment 18 Jiri Kovalsky 2002-01-22 13:55:09 UTC
Okay, in such a case I verify this issue.
Comment 19 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 12:56:53 UTC
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
