Description Jaromir Uhrik 2004-08-30 16:15:45 UTC 
[dev build #200408262030; jdk1.5.0-rc-b63]
Ctrl+Tab is reserved for winsys and due to this
the focus traversing is not possible in opened
properties editor.
Steps to reproduce:
1.create the properties file
2.open it (not "edit" but "open" action from
explorer popup)
3.I try to jump to "New Property" button (it is
not possible by
keyboard) - Ctrl+Tab is used for the windows
switching. See more details in issue #48091.
Comment 1 Jan Stola 2004-09-01 10:09:52 UTC 
Fixed. The only problem is that JTable and JTextArea use Ctrl+Tab
for forward focus traversal (because Tab has another meaning
in these components). Unfortunately Ctrl+Tab shortcut was stolen
by window system and therefore it is possible to leave these
components only using the backward focus traversal (Ctrl+Shift+Tab).
Comment 2 Jaromir Uhrik 2004-11-09 15:57:35 UTC 
Verified.
