Description Iñaki Baz Castillo 2006-01-11 19:18:52 UTC
Version:           3.5 (using KDE 3.5.0, Debian Package 4:3.5.0-3 (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.14

When I put the mouse over a link in a web the status bar shows the URL of the link.
But if I navigate on the page with the TAB key and focus over a link, the URL is not shown in the status bar.

I think this behavior is not good for the accesibility in Konqueror, because a person who can't use the mouse can't see the URL of the links in a web page.

Firefox and IE show the URL in the status bar when navigating with TAB key. Konqueror should be better than them.   ;)

This should be a wishlist since it's a new feature to be implemented, but I'll leave it as an accessibility bug.
Comment 2 lexual 2006-11-03 00:19:59 UTC
confirming for 3.5.5
Comment 3 Iñaki Baz Castillo 2007-02-11 22:19:32 UTC
Confirmed in Konqueror 3.5.6. Will be Konqueror a bad web browser in accesibility issues?
Comment 4 Iñaki Baz Castillo 2009-04-06 00:17:02 UTC
Still occurs in KDE 4.2.2.
Comment 5 Iñaki Baz Castillo 2009-07-29 01:52:16 UTC

Dear user,

KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6.

Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component.

We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes.

For security issues, please see:

https://kde.org/info/security/

Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
