21532 - Bad key-mappings for form completion.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P1)

Description

[Lorenzo]

I've just tested M11 on my system, and have been mostly happy to see (at last!)
the focus moving to the forn-post button when moving between input elements with
the tab key.
Now, there are two misbehaviours: first of all, you have to click on the space
bar to submit, instead of the usual "Enter on the submit button" you get from
Netscape on non-unix platforms, and any other browser; after you submitted the
form, comes the second problem: the focus is lost, and you cannot jump between
form input fields with the keyboard until you clicked on one of them.

I'm seeing simular problems on WINNT with a 12/10/99 10:00am build. When tabbing
over a submit button in test5.html  then pressing return it does not depress the
button.  It also leaves the focus outline around each form element I have
visited. If I hit the spacebar it will depress the radio button but it will not
depress a button that has focus when the spacebar is hit.. I think this is a XP
focus issue not specific to Linux.

Setting OS to All and re-assigning to sarri for focus issues.

Pushing to M15

One problem seems to be that we don't reset focus to the current document when a
form submit happens. I'm not sure why that is.

The other is button related, not focus.

nsbeta2 6/1-. html32 behavior b.c. Also important for accessibility.

Docshell is giving the focus to another docshell instead of keeping it in the
document. This is the correct behavior, sometimes. Just not this time.

Cleaning up status whiteboard by marking beta2 minus (6/15 has passed)

There is too much doomage to get to this for beta2 it seems.

Comment 17

[Brian Ryner (not reading)]

This WORKSFORME on a current Linux build.  Here's what I tried:

- Bring up test #5
- tab to Submit button
- press Enter, note that form submits
- hit tab, note that no click is necessary to move focus to the document
