424146 - Midas: ctrl+del deletes text marked as contentReadOnly

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[N00107955]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; FDM; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12

Pressing ctrl+del or shift+del on selected text in an iframe with designMode enabled will delete the text, regardless of whether the document was set to contentReadOnly or not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an iframe with source data (src="blah.html") and enable designMode
2. call execCommand() on this iframe with the 'contentReadOnly' command
3. As expected, typing in the iframe will not edit the text
4. select text and press ctrl+del or shift+del
Actual Results:  
The selected text is deleted

Expected Results:  
The selected text should not be deleted

I will try to attach an example html file to demonstrate this problem, as I realize the steps to reproduce it may be somewhat vague.

Attachment: simple test case

Funny thing happened when trying to reproduce this bug: Another bug (bug #304994) makes it appear as though the iframe was read-only whenever you navigate away from the page and then back because designMode gets disabled.

I haven't tested it in 3.6.x safemode, but seeing how the bug still existed in 3.5.3 it is clear to me that this bug is of little importance.
