12630 - Note: This may be bug 12475! "submit" and "preview" buttons for talkback don't trigger action -M9 on Linux

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 12729

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[Dean Pannell]

Using Milestone 9 on a (mostly) Debian 2.2.9 AMD-k6 with 64 mb of ram.
When trying to submit or preview a response to a Linux Today article
, I can depress the submit or preview button and they will visually appear to go
down and up, but nothing appears to get submitted.  I sit and wait -- nothing
happens.

Actually entering the talkback is great : it works well, is snappy, wraps
correctly.  I especially like those silly little "wraparound arrows" at the end
of a wrapped line.

When I submitted this bug, I missed bug 12475 in "known editor issues".  I
couldn't get to the page referenced in that bug description, but I suspect that
bug isn't fixed and that this shouldn't be reported as a new bug.

Note: of the choices on the screen, it appeared that marking it as duplicate of
but 12475 would mark it fixed, thus failing to leave any bug open (so it
appears).  What is the right way to handle this?

Harish, can you check this out:

When I have a form like this, I get a content model that corresponds:
<FORM>        form<
 <INPUT>       input<>
</FORM>       >

But if I open up a <P> tag before the form closes, the form no longer contains
it's children:
<FORM>        form<>
 <INPUT>      input<>
 <P>          p<>
</FORM>

This is the source of this bug, as when a submit can not find it's parent form,
it will not submit the form.  (nsGfxButtonControlFrame::MouseClicked checks for
mFormFrame != nsnull which is failing)

Can we close all open <P> tags when a form ends?
