1125813 - Accesskey ignored if first matching input field's style is display:none — focus does not go to the subsequent fields with that key.

Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[John Murray]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20150120155007

Steps to reproduce:

Fiddle is available at http://jsfiddle.net/gjsjohnmurray/k64t4fs1/

Define two or more <input> elements with the same accesskey attribute value, e.g. "Z". Style the first element as "display:none;"


Actual results:

Entering the accesskey combination (e.g. Shift+Alt+Z) does not move focus anywhere.


Expected results:

The accesskey combination should skip the hidden first field and put focus onto the second field (the first one that is visible).

Attachment: Reporter's testcase from comment #0 jsfiddle.

firefox-2.0.0.20 always goes to the last field, but maybe it did not support Alt+Shift+<accesskey> yet, per bug 136041 comment 14.

WFM with 2008-09-18-02-mozilla-central-firefox-3.1b1pre.en-US.linux-x86_64

Reproduced with 2015-02-01-03-02-09-mozilla-central-firefox-38.0a1.ru.linux-x86_64.  If the last field is focused, the accesskey does nothing visible.  I guess the hidden field's accesskey fires, but focus does not move, so the next key is again of the hidden field.
