Login Banner Window "Accept" Button Can't Be Used Without Mouse/Does not honor Full Keyboard Access Accessability Option

Originator:greg
Number:rdar://16619030 Date Originated:04/15/2014
Status:Duplicate/10993704 Resolved:
Product:OS X Product Version:10.9.2/13C64
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
The Accept button in the Login Banner window (before login) does http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4788 support Full Keyboard Access (Sys Preferences > Keyboard > Text). Use of a mouse is absolutely required to login, making OS X less impossible to use to those without a mouse or difficult for those with mouse motor skill problems.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a Login Banner (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4788)
2. Unplug your mouse
3. Reboot
4. Press the Accept button on boot

Expected Results:
Press tab to highlight the button and space to simulate a click.

Actual Results:
You're left staring at a screen and will never be able to login unless you find a mouse.

Notes:
Possible Solutions:
* FKA should always be enabled, mimicking the OS X installer (?)
* FKA should be enabled if any user of the system has FKA enabled.
* FKA should be enabled if a mouse is not detected.
