Context menus of new Address Book are not keyboard accessible in any way, which in turn makes a number of actions like Export
and Default startup directory
on address books or Write
and Print
on contacts inaccessible.
STR (seen on 98.0a1 (2022-02-02) (64-bit))
- In new Address Book, select
Personal Address Book
- Press the
menu key
orShift+F10
(Windows/Linux); the Mac equivalent might be theCmd
key
Actual
- nothing
- Many contextual actions are completely inaccessible for keyboard users
Expected (see classic AB in TB91)
- open the AB's context menu to provide keyboard access to contextual functions
- ensure all actions are keyboard accessible
Implementation
This should be due to a wrong design which doesn't use contextmenu event to cover both mouse and keyboard access.

This was already at the top of bug 1717632, but I think it is ok to move it here since it was a bit of an outlier, so I just added a note to the first comment.

It does use the contextmenu
event, but bails out early because the event target is the list, not the row.
