Description bugbridge 2006-09-12 13:03:15 UTC
Description:
CTRL+F10 works for diagram elements only if cursor is in selection state.

This means that user Can't invoke popup menu for just created diagram element.
Diagram Need to be switched to selection state first.

How to reproduce:
- create class diagram
- put class element on diagram. 
DO NOT disactivate element creation state by right-clicking or deselecting
element in palette.
- try to open element popup menu using CTRL+F10
BUG: it doesn't work.

user needs to switch to selection state (right click or special diagram toolbar
button) and then CTRL+F10 will open popup menu for selection element.

If any other state will be selected (in diagram tiilbar or by selecting element
in palette), CTRL+F10 stops working.

According to the accessiabilty office, we have to provide away to execute the
functionallity.  It does not have to behave the exact same way.  So, the fact
that you have to be in the select state to use the keystroke, still satisfies
the A11Y requirement.

Also when you are in node drop mode, the right clicking is not designed to open
the context menu.  It is designed to exit the drop mode and return back to the
select state.  When you are in select mode and you right click the context menu
does not appear, you simply exist the drop mode.  

In this way the CTRL-F10 and mouse behavour is the same.

seems ok if it works the same way as mouse
