102428 - keyboard input is distorted after pressing windows key

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Tim van Werkhoven]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    2001080110

The keyboard input in forms is distorted after pressing the windows key which
popups up menu's (not the start menu). For example r takes you to the "print
page" dialog, alt p pastes text from the clipboard. This only has effect for the
current window, and restarting the browser solves the problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load a page with a form where you can enter text
2.press the window button to get the popup menu (left of the right ctrl)
3.press it again
4.Entering text will have very weird results now


Actual Results:  r takes you to the "print page" dialog, alt p pastes text from
the clipboard, and i think there are many more combo's, but haven't really tried
them

Expected Results:  r should enter an r into a form field, alt p should take you
to the print dialog

It also causes problems in ASPN Komodo from activestate.com, (which I think uses
Mozilla). The mail client does not have this problem.

Reporter, when reporting a bug please use a more recent build, the one you're
using is almost two months old.

Secondly, when you use context menu key, the context menu takes the keyboard
focus, so the keys you press once it has come up navigate through the menu. 
Therefore, if you open the context menu and then press the down button the
selection in the menu will move down.  Similarly, if you press "p" it will carry
out the command with the "p" shortcut, which is paste.

Reccomending invalid.

WFM Win98SE build 2001093008, cannot duplicate reporter's results on at least a
dozen sites with forms.
