[krest143]

This is bad if popup has multiline text fields and really bad if popup has login form that needs to be submitted on Enter

Can confirm with 57.0a1 (2017-08-04) (64-bit), using the bitwarden extension. I press Enter to submit password and the extension popup closes.

Comment 3

[rotemdan]

I've experienced this behavior as well (57.0a1 (2017-08-11) (64-bit) Win 10), especially with bitwarden. This doesn't seem to happen on Chrome (v60 Win10).

Comment 4

[Kyle]

Confirm with bitwarden as well. Cannot login using enter key and must use mouse to click the button button.

Comment 5

[Leonardo Santagada]

I have the same problem with bitwarden on 56 beta and 57 nightly.

Comment 8

[:Gijs (he/him)]

This might be because of the CustomizableUI code that is supposed to deal with this (but was written for old-style XUL panels only) being confused by iframes and/or HTML. See https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/37824bf5c5b08afa7e689fceb935b8f457ebd9eb/browser/components/customizableui/CustomizableUI.jsm#1714 and related code.

Where is the regression window, and what's the regressing bug?

Track 56+ as regression.

Kris, as the author of both bug 1357486 and bug 1357490, can you look into this?

Comment 15

[Panos Astithas (he/him) [:past] (please ni?)]

Andy, how likely are we to get a fix for 56 at this point?

Comment 16

[Andy McKay]

Very likely.

Comment 17

[Andy McKay]

Oh wait, sorry, you said Firefox 56. That depends on the complexity of the patch and the risk. 56 is unlikely, 57 is very likely.

Comment 18

[Gerry Chang [:gchang]]

We are about to build 56 RC today and it's too late for 56. Mark 56 won't fix.

Bug 1384078: Prevent enter key from closing extension panels.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/Bug causing the regression]: Bug 1357486
[User impact if declined]: This causes extension popups to be closed prematurely when the enter key is pressed, breaking expected functionality.
[Is this code covered by automated tests?]: The popup code in general is, but there is currently no test for this behavior.
[Has the fix been verified in Nightly?]: No.
[Needs manual test from QE? If yes, steps to reproduce]: Listed in comment 0.
[List of other uplifts needed for the feature/fix]: None.
[Is the change risky?]: No.
[Why is the change risky/not risky?]: It simply sets an attribute which tells the code that is currently closing the popup that it should be ignored.
[String changes made/needed]: None.

Annoying sounding regression, we said we wouldn't fix it for 56 but the patch looks simple. Let's uplift the fix for 56 RC2.
