138033 - file query blanks not writeable

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 78928

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Karen Bruner]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020416
BuildID:    00000000000

If I open the query for a link to follow (using Ctl-Shift-L) the
window comes up fine but I cannot edit the existing text.  I can highlight it,
but it seems to be using the X cut-and-paste control rather than mozilla's entry
widget. Highlighting and backspacing do not affect the entry content at all. 
This also happens when I open the file chooser widget, I cannot change the text
in the chooser blank.  The associated pull-down menus work fine.  I can only use
the default.  Normal in-browser forms seem to work and the location blank on the
Navigator Toolbar are also normal.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Ctl-Shift-L
2.Attempt to change value in fill-in text blank
3.

Actual Results:  Text in blank is not editable by keyboard.

Expected Results:  Allowed keyboard modification of text in blank

Can you edit text in the "Find" dialog, eg?

What windowmanager are you using?

vtwm-5.4.6, but it shows the same behavior if I run or start it with no window
manager running.  It *does* seem to work correctly if I use fvwm.  I'm not sure
I want to.

Karen, thanks for the information.... This is a problem in how Mozilla handles
lack of certain windowmanager events (which is why it fails with no
windowmanager as well).
