            Bug ID: 128091
           Summary: Dialog box: inconsistent use of ENTER and CTRL-TAB
                    keys
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Since a couple of minor updates ago, the keyboard response in dialog boxes has
changed and become inconsistent.

In some dialog boxes, hitting ENTER still confirms the value entered and closes
the dialog box. This is how dialog boxes tend to work in all programs on all
platforms. It is quicker and reduces the need for unnecessary mouse clicks.

However, many dialog boxes (e.g. Format→Character), ENTER only confirms the
value but doesn't close the box. The box can only be closed with a mouse click,
or by clicking the focus through to the 'OK' button with TAB and then hitting
ENTER.

Also, the ability to click through to the next/prev tab within a dialog box by
means of [SHIFT-]CTRl-TAB has stopped working. Now, a mouse click is needed, or
one has to TAB the focus to the tab heading and use arrow keys.

These changes reduce functionality and I can only imagine that they are
accidental - especially since they don't apply to Windows.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open dialog box
2. Enter value
3. Hit 'RETURN/ENTER' key

Actual Results:
The new value is confirmed, the dialog box remains open, cursor remains in the
box amended

Expected Results:
The new value is confirmed, the dialog box closes


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
