Leaving traversalOn on causes text in a field to be deselected when the 
menu is opened.  The whole purpose of the menu is to apply 
font/size/style settings to the selected text.  Since the text is 
deselected, there is no longer a selection to apply a font/size/style 
to by the time the user selects a font/size/style to apply.

Also, the program is a graphical report editor; if users are blind, 
then they will not be able to use the program anyway.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten 
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have 
everlasting life.
