Very helpful, thank you.

I would say the use of arrow keys to traverse focus in this case _looks to me_ to be application-specific.  In other words, this may or may not be the desired behavior.

In the context of a simple dialog which only has buttons - yes, it `is` the desired behavior.  In the case of a more complex UI where text input components are present - probably not, but it may depend on the application requirements.

In your example, the navigation with TAB / shift+TAB is there, and it works correctly in all four panes.  So it's not like the functionality is severely impeded.

What I am saying is that what we currently have is probably ok and JDK-8340852 may not be needed.
