4973 - pressing spacebar scrolls down even if focus is on checkbox

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 3999

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[cpratt]

if you go to the my yahoo page at the above url, do this to see what i'm talking
about:

- click into the yahoo! id field
- press tab twice to change focus on the 'remember my id' checkbox
- press the spacebar

result: the whole page scrolls down. the checkbox is now off of the screen

expected result: the page does not scroll down. the page should only scroll down
if the focus is not on a form element, but in the general page itself (this is
nav 4.51 behavior).

"it scrolls whenever an event passes through a
scrollframe, even if that event is destined for text fields or some such"

- right you are. this is a dupe.
