3253 - Spacebar doesn't toggle checkbox or radio buttons

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P2)

Description

[paul]

1. Have NGLayout display a form containing a checkbox or radio button.

2. Tab to this field and press the spacebar.  You'll see a temporary change in
the widget, but not what is expected (the state being toggled).

This is the behavior using a Win32 optimized build of NGLayout, running under NT
4.0.

Tom: when the tab manager is working, please reassign this bug to me.

It's working well enough for this already, since these are still native
widgets.  There just isn't any visual indication of focus on the checkboxes.
You probably should have a bug for that, too.

Reassigning QA contact to [e-mail] (FORM QA contact).

Reassigning to Kevin, since he is all over gfx checkboxes and radio buttons.

Fixed. Joki got this working. Only tested GFX versions.

Using the 1999070614 (actually Aug-14-99) build under Windows 98, I don't see
this fixed. I'm not marking it as verified until I can get a GFX version...

Please do not test or write anything about form controls bug status unless you
are testing with GFX. Thanks, this will save me a lot of time, read about bugs.

Reopening as I cannot very this as fixed using the 1999082616 build under
Windows NT with GFX widgets enabled. Here is what I did to reproduce:

1 - Loaded http://schist/forms/input_checkbox.html to get a simple page with
checkboxes
2 - Clicked once into a checkbox to check it
3 - Pressed the spacebar to toggle it back to unchecked (this works well in
Communicator 4.x)

This did not work as expected. Either nothing happened or spaces were appended
to the URL in the Location: control.

Changing to M10 since M9 is already released.

This is not a problem with the GFX controls, we are not receiving the correct
keyCodes from the system. It was working now it broke this maybe be depending on
bugs #6449 and/or #8379
