Description Matt 2013-02-19 14:38:52 UTC
>=sys-power/powertop-2.2, all versions of the new powertop newer than 2.1* 

don't allow me to switch the tabs via left & right cursor keys

only the content of the window (in the initial window: "Overview") is moved left, right, up, down

I also tried out powertop-9999 but that's the same

thought this was a minor issue after 2.1 but no change so far

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge powertop (since powertop 2.1 isn't in-tree anymore)
2. run powertop via 'powertop'
3. try to switch tabs via left & right keys on keyboard
Actual Results:  
doesn't work - doesn't switch between tabs (Overview -> Idle stats -> Frequency stats - ...)

instead it only moves the window's content around

Expected Results:  
it should switch/cycle to the other tabs and provide functionality to tweak system's power settings

This isn't a Gentoo bug but a powertop feature [1]. You should use [tab] to switch the tabs.
