250889 - Find Toolbar: Spacebar/key problems when "Use Find As You Type" is enabled

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[PikeUK]

When "Use Find As You Type" is enabled and the Find Toolbar is *not* currently
shown, pressing the Spacebar activates the find bar *and* scrolls the page. The
key press should just scroll the page.

When "Use Find As You Type" is enabled and the Find Toolbar is being shown,
pressing the Spacebar adds a space character to the find bar *and* scrolls the
page. The key press should just add a space character.

-> Find Toolbar component.

This should be changed so that space cannot activate find as you type, but it
can be used if the toolbar is already showing.

Perhaps I should create an extra bug number for this but:
when I enable <b>accessibility.typeaheadfind.startlinksonly</b>
it starts with finding links as expected, but pressing enter to 'click' the link
doesn't work: it searches the next result (this is non-link behavure).
When I start typing using <b>'</b> enter works as expected.

I'm sorry, had tested it enough, startlinksonly isn't implemented yet. Ignore
above post.
