I wrote: %%%%%%%% In most of the installer, the new dialog is reasonable, with space select/deselecting and enter activating. But the behavior in the network configuration and resolver dialogs is different -- it seems that I have to use the up/down arrows to move between the IP address, netmask, and default router fields; enter on any of them still performs the 'ok' action, even though 'ok' is not selected when any of those three fields are selected. I think there are several ways in which this situation might be improved -- it might be that one of 'ok' and 'cancel' is always selected, or tab might move between the three entry fields as well as ok/cancel, or enter on one field might move to the next. (I didn't do anything with IPv6, so I don't know if similar issues are present there.) %%%%%%% >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
