RB 2010 R2.1 Has A Nasty Windows Bug
Be aware that RB 2010 R2.1 has a nasty Windows-only bug that might affect you. It seems that the keyboard accessibility for pushbuttons (and possibly other controls) no longer works properly.
To duplicate, put two pushbuttons on a window. Put a message box in the Action event saying which one has been pushed.
Test it with the mouse. Works fine. Now tab to each pushbutton and press the spacebar. Works fine.
Now, tab to each one and press the Return or Enter key. Nothing. If you happen to have a default pushbutton the Enter/Return key will activate that button regardless of where the focus is.
Nasty bug that leads the average Windows user to curse your name in vain if they rely on the keyboard to navigate. I spent hours trying to figure this one out because it manifests itself in the MessageDialog class too.
Yeah, I’m a little pissed. I have to revert to RB 2010 R1 where it does not manifest itself. The hard deadline for the project I’m working on is today. Gives me a black eye for a problem outside of my control.
