Accessibility issue on Linux [message #325019]

I've noticed when doing accessibility testing on Red Hat 4.0 ES with
gtk2-2.4.13-22 and Eclipse 3.3.2 that combo boxes are not reachable using
only the tab key. I've just took a look over the Eclipse preferences pages
which have examples of unreachable combo boxes. Is this a known issue?

This is a known bug in gtk 2.4.x that affects read-only combos. It has been
fixed in newer gtk versions.

Thank you, I was suspecting being a gtk issue. Do you happen to have any
defect nr or readme I can point to?
Kind regards,
Alex Nan.

I did a search at http://bugzilla.gnome.org bug didn't find a corresponding
report.
