Son of a gun. Thanks for elucidating this Richard.
I guess I've had full keyboard access turned on for some time. Quite awhile ago
I noticed these focus rings start showing up in alert panels, but it never
occurred to me to press the space bar.
I had actually been intending to file a bug report decrying the ambiguity
between the focus ring and the blue backfill insofar as which control gets
acted upon. (I didn't realize that these signify two different activation
methods.)
