It looks like my patch for 1003741 fixes also this :)
(I'm not sure whether I should close this as duplicate, since it looks like a separate issue)

Attachment: Test keypress event for numbers on a number control input

It looks like the actual bug is a duplicate of Bug 1003741, because dispatching keypress events is already tested in /forms/test_input_number_key_events.html and were working already before the patch of 1003741. 

However, it seems to me that keypress event for numbers are not directly tested. I added a little mochitest in that file in case we want to test this as well. Thanks!
