1053323 - GMail overrides/blocks previous tab/next tab (Ctrl-PageUp, Ctrl-PageDown) when "Compose Mail" is open

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140715214327

Steps to reproduce:

In an open gmail tab, I pressed the "c" key (or clicked on the COMPOSE button) to display an in-tab compose "window". I then tried to go to the next tab using Control-PageUp, and to the previous tab using Control-PageDown.


Actual results:

Nothing happened. If I close or trash the message I'm composing, the behavior is corrected, and the keyboard shortcuts work again. If I open a compose window again, the keys stop working again. The ALT-[1...8] keyboard shortcuts work as expected.


Expected results:

The browser should have changed to the next or previous tab, respectively.

I'm not sure this is still a valid bug. The design of gmail has changed a lot since this bug. The compose window is not opened as a tab but as a window overlay. I'm closing this as invalid, but if I closed it too fast, let me know.

Yes, the new UI doesn't have such issues :)
