           Summary: Extension Manager: loss of keyboard access after last

           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

Bug detected in LibreOffice 3.3 RC1, on Windows XP: 
When tabbing after the last button in the Extension Manager, keyboard access is
lost. Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Open the Extension Manager (keyboard: Alt+T, then E),
2. The keyboard focus is on the Add button; press Tab to move to the other
buttons: Check for Updates, Close, Help, Get more extensions online (the last
one is a link, but is part of the Tab cycle), 
3. Then press Tab once more: the focus does not go back to the first button;
pressing Shift+Tab does not move the focus back to the previous buttons, so it
is impossible to continue using the Extension Manager from the keyboard. (Using
the Arrow Up and Arrow Down keys to move through the list of extensions still
works, but does not provide a solution.)

Note: the issue does not seem to reproduce itself when you are still in the
Extension Manager right after adding a new extension: in that case, pressing
Tab cycles the focus through the Disable & Remove buttons for the newly
installed extension, followed by the buttons mentioned earlier (Add, Check for
Updates, Close, Help, Get more extensions online, and then back to Disable,
Remove).

Current workaround: exit the Extension Manager by pressing Esc and reopen it,
then be careful not to tab past the last button.

This issue affects anyone who cannot use a pointing device, i.e. blind users
and motor-impaired users, so it is an accessibility issue.
