Bug Description
Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.18.1, Ubuntu Maverick
software-
1. Launch Ubuntu Software Center.
2. Press Tab to focus the main pane.
3. Press the Down key.
What happens: In 2.18.1, "Fonts" is focused. In r2114, nothing happens at all.
What should happen: The main pane scrolls down.
This is an accessibility problem because it prevents people from getting to all the features, reading the full description etc., unless they can use a pointing device.

Page Down works.
IMHO the viewable region should track the focused widget when using the keyboard.
