Created attachment 143212 [details] OBSERVED RESULT -- screen recording of the weird focus change behaviour SUMMARY Navigating the modal dialog to create a new partition from keyboard is uncomfortable. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open KDE Partition Manager 2. Select an unallocated space on any of the drives 3. Press Ctrl+N 4. Press Tab several times 5. Observe where the focus goes OBSERVED RESULT Focus changes in unintuitive ways. I noticed the problem when I couldn't get to the "File system" dropdown. See the screen recording -- note how sometimes, the focus goes from "Primary" radiobutton straight to "Label", skipping over "File system" dropdown and encryption checkbox. EXPECTED RESULT Focus change "loop" is top-to-bottom left-to-right (in English locale). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 5.23 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.11.0-38-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz Memory: 7.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620
I can improve tab order a bit but it's not completely satisfactory. With my change, it cycles as expected when Encrypt checkbox is off. However, if you enable Encrypt checkbox then password lines are only focused just before advanced/ok/cancel buttons are focused. Still that is better than current behaviour where order is completely messed up.
