Menus indeed work that way, but autocomplete list is not a menu. Unlike a menu, it doesn't have focus and isn't explicitly called upon by user. It should be unobtrusive. In fact, I've almost agreed with you after testing some applications' menus, but... 1. Firefox's form entry autocomplete entries close on Alt-Tab. A second press is needed to actually switch, but it's still better. 2. Epiphany's address bar autocomplete behaves the same. While I would certainly prefer Alt-Tab work even in the menus, Firefox's behavior is still inconsistent. P.S. Chromium's autocomplete - both in the address bar and in forms - is ideal, letting Alt-Tab through the first time. -- Firefox steals Alt-Tab whilst in URL completion drop-down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/22199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
