1497759 - Gmail does not recognize (asterisk, *) for threadlist selection

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P2)

Description

[Takanori MATSUURA]

Threadlist selection (asterisk, *) still does not work.

Step to Reproduce:
1. In any threadlist, select threads by using threadlist selection shortcuts (* + a, * + u, etc.).

Expected: Select all (* + a) or unread (* + u) conversations.
Actual: Nothing happens.

Additional info:
Other shortcuts works good for me. So this issue is different from bug 1471848.
At the least on 2018-07-02, these shortcuts don't work.
I'm using japanes 106/109 keyboard.
Does it depend on keyboard layout?

Masayuki might know the answer.

Did this work in the past?

I don't understand how to use the shortcut key. I tried to do it on Chrome, but nothing happens. Could you let me know detail of the STR? (I do NOT use Gmail in daily use...)

I didn't understand which UI should be shown, which element should have focus at pressing the shortcut key.

But I succeeded to reproduce it now.

Even if enabling dom.keyboardevent.keypress.set_keycode_and_charcode_to_same_value, I cannot use it. Perhaps, we're banned by UA string check or something?

Anyway, I cannot read their minimized JS...

Now threadlist selection works!
