This pertains to MessageDialog on linux. When open a dialog window, e.g. openQuestion, you can't switch focus between YES and NO by using arrow key. 

Note: no such issue on win32.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a MessageDialog
2. openQuestion
3. can't use arrow key to switch focus between buttons

Sorry, this is by design. Push buttons are tab group in GTK - and for that reason you need to use tab key to traverse them. Note that radio and check buttons, on the other hand, are tab items - and are traversed with arrow keys.

Closing as wont fix.
