14424 - VK_ESCAPE key message not being received in xul dialog

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[hangas]

When a dialog has focus on an html:select the following do not fire:

	<keyset id="keyset">
		<key keycode="VK_ENTER" oncommand="doOKButton()"/>
		<key keycode="VK_RETURN" oncommand="doOKButton()"/>
		<key keycode="VK_ESCAPE" oncommand="doCancelButton()"/>
	</keyset>

ENTER and RETURN will fire if you click on the background of dialog (outside the
html:select), and ESCAPE never fires.

Marking as blocker since 9635 is depending on this.

The enter and return part of this where you have to click in the window before
the keys will work is a dupe of 9701.

The inability to get VK_ESCAPE is either a platform issue or a case of some
other event listener in the specific xul case where the event is not being
received consuming the event.  I tested on Windows and it sends a VK_ESCAPE
message just fine.

I'm going change the description to reflect that this bug will just track the
VK_ESCAPE problem (the other parts being in 9701).  I'll need either
verification that this is a platform issue or a more specific test case since
this works for me on Windows.

No reponse on platform issue.  I'm getting Windows events just fine.  Since the
listed blocked bug is fixed I'm closing worksforme.  If anyone has better
platform information please reopen with test case.

mass-verifying WorksForMe bugs which haven't changed since 2001.12.31.
