306473 - flash wmode="opaque" causes odd behavior with list control and Shift/Ctrl key

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 347185

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Seairth Jacobs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When a flash object is set to wmode="opaque", then it is not possible to select
multiple items in a list control using Ctrl or Shift keys.  In the case of Ctrl,
the entire flash object toggles between being selected and not.  The shift key
is ignored entirely.

These keys work as expected if wmode="window".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




I also came across Bug 206264, which is possibly related.

This bug is also the case if wmode is set to "transparent".
I noticed this when my flash input fields didn't accept any numbers that are created with shift+key on an 'azerty-keyboard', also they don't accept ALT-GR for an '@' for instance.
an example can be found at www.taketwo.be (contact page)

This bug needs a testcase that demonstrates the bug.

bugexample:

go to contact page. try to fill in email that includes numbers (ex. [e-mail])
make sure your keyboard is set to "azerty type" so you have to use SHIFT + key to type a number.
Normaly it won't return the right number you typed.

This bug is similiar and has an example.  Control click should work like shift click...

I confirm the bug with Firefox 2.0

It is a bug of firefox since it works as expected in IE.
