[Rwp] Introduction and Presets

[James Teh]

That preset combo box is a disaster. Basically, the cursor can't land on 
the headings in that combo box, but instead of just skipping them, it 
literally refuses to move there, which also means you can't move past.

I just now tested this in REAPER 5pre22 and this seems to have been 
partially fixed; the cursor can now land on those headings. However, it 
still doesn't seem to let me get to certain presets in certain plug-ins.

You can work around this using something like the following ugliness. 
Note that these are desktop layout commands.
1. Tab to the combo box.
2. Using NVDA object navigation, move inside the combo box (NVDA+numpad2).
3. Move next (NVDA+numpad6) until you get to the Open button.
4. Activate that button (NVDA+numpadEnter).
5. Next again (NVDA+numpad6). You will hit a list.
6. Move inside the list (NVDA+numpad2).
7. Next until you find the preset you want.
8. Set focus to it with NVDA+shift+numpadMinus.
9. Press enter to accept the change.

I think I know of a way I can hack this combo box to work properly from 
within OSARA when I have time. We'll see.

Hope this helps,
Jamie
