Description David M. Karr CLA 2010-10-28 17:24:58 EDT
Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

For the purposes of keyboard accessibility, there appears to be no way to press a key sequence which will put the focus in the Team History view, in order to navigate within the view using the keyboard.

Both the "Show History" and "Show View (View: History)" in the "SVN" and "Views" categories respectively will show the History view and highlight the "History" view tab, but the keyboard focus is still in the editor view.  This is odd, because the editor view tab is white, as if the editor view doesn't have focus, but the text cursor in the editor view is flashing, and if I type at that point, keys go to the editor view.

When either of these functions are executed from the keyboard, it should act as if I clicked the mouse on the "History" tab, so I have a reliable tab index point to start at in order to navigate through the view.

Reproducible: Always

I don't have this problem with the CVS's 'History' view. Are you using Subclipse or Subversive?
Comment 2 David M. Karr CLA 2010-12-02 20:37:34 EST
Subversive.
