in reply to Rearrange voting radio buttons

I've noticed my potential vote switching over when I use a wheel mouse to scroll. The radio button is still 'selected' and the wheel switches between values, rather than moving the page up and down. It takes a click into the body of the page to 'switch' away from the radio button. Could this explain anything?

    Howdy!

    I've noticed a similar behavior. I don't have a mouse wheel, but I use Page Up/Down, and it changes my vote. I think it has to do with the notion on Windoze that controls deserve to get the keyboard focus. Being an unreconstructed Mac user, I expect TAB to cycle among the text fields (possibly to include select lists), but *NEVER* to focus on buttons of any sort.
