In a dialog box, tabbing moves the focus not just between the buttons, but also
onto the text strings outside the boxes.  E.g., there are five focus locations
in this box: "The file 'untitled' is not saved.", "Do you want to save it
before closing?", "Cancel", "Don't Save", "Save".  Other GTK applications
(e.g., Sylpheed) don't behave this way; the focus only moves from button to
button.

I had a quick look at this.
In Geany, we use an ordinary GtkMessageDialog widget which by default
seems to make the labels sensitive to receiving the focus.

In contrary, Sylpheed doesn't use a GtkMessageDialog instead they use a
more generic GtkDialog and put GtkLabel widgets in it manually.
This seems more wrong to me, at least unnecessary complex.

So, I think most GTK applications behave like Geany, rather few like
Sylpheed behave differently.

Though I see that "feature" of label texts being sensitive for tabbing
isn't really good. So, if it should be fixed/changed in GTK not Geany,
IMHO.

Enrico

Ok, so should I reassign this to GTK?
