 Reporter:  Daedalon         |       Type:  defect (bug)
   Status:  new              |   Priority:  normal
Milestone:  Awaiting Review  |  Component:  Accessibility
  Version:  3.5.1            |   Severity:  minor

 When changing the scheduled publishing time of a post, the OK button after
 the time fields cannot be triggered by pressing spacebar.

 The same applies to all buttons and links in the Publish widget on the Add
 New / Edit Post page. The Add button in the Tags widget on the same page
 can be triggered with space since WordPress 3.5.

 Steps to repeat:

 1. Create a new post by navigating to wp-admin/post-new.php.
 2. Click the underlined link in "Publish immediately _Edit_" in the
 Publish widget.
 3. Click the last field (minutes).
 4. Press Tab once to move focus to the OK button.
 5. Press spacebar.

 What happens is the screen scrolling down exactly as if Page Down was
 pressed.

 What should happen is the same that happens when the button (or link) is
 clicked with mouse, which depends on the button (or link).

 Tested on Windows XP & 7 and all the recent Firefoxes I can remember and
 Internet Explorer 9.
