Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages The category selection dialog does not have the category list focussed, so I first have to use the mouse (or Tab, Tab, Tab) before I can select a category using the keyboard. In KDE 3.5 that listbox got the focus automatically and I could go to a category by simply pressing the initial letter of the category, using space to select that category and press Enter. Now, selecting a category with the keyboard got a lot harder for no apparent reason. In my opinion, the category list should get the focus when the category selection dialog is opened. (The Ok and Cancel buttons are available via Enter and Esc anyway, so there's no need to have them focussed).
I can confirm this bug in KDE 4.2.2. It is a regression from KDE 3 in which the category selection dialogue was focused as default. Please restore the focus to the category selection portion of the dialogue. Thanks.
Still there in 4.2.4. Reproduce by pressing the following keys: Ctrl-N (for new appointment) Alt-S, Space (for opening the category selection dialogue) Notice the focus being on the 'Help' button. Annoying for speedie users.
I'd like to see thix fixed too.
works for me in KDE 4.3 and above.
(In reply to comment #4) > works for me in KDE 4.3 and above. Sorry, but doesn't work in 4.3.1 here. Have to re-open this bug.
I can confirm that on KDE 4.3.1 s packaged by Ubuntu, using Hell0world's procedure in Comment #2 the bug seems fixed for me. Elias, can you be very specific in how you are opening the dialogue in that the issue is not fixed for you? Thanks!
→ Start korganizer via krunner → Select timespan 08:00-13:00 in the calendar (current view is 'week') → Press RETURN → "New Event" dialog shows up → Focus is on "Title:" → Type "Test Event" as title → Push ALT+S to hover the "Select" button in the "Categories:" line → Push SPACE to activate the "Select" button → The "Select Categories" dialog appears → The "Help" button is enabled by default Using korganizer 4.3.1
I just found the discrepancy, and Elias is right. The bug is not fixed. If the mouse pointer is in the center of the screen, where the category selection will appear when it is opened, then the category selection gets focus. If the mouse pointer is off to the side somewhere, then the Help button gets focus! Kubuntu 9.04, KDE 4.3.1

The issue persists in KDE 4.3.3 as installed by Kubuntu 9.10.
David just committed a fix for this that should be in KDE 4.4 and KDE 4.3.5 (although I'm not sure if we will have a 4.3.5 yet)
