Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 SeaMonkey/2.49.4

Steps to reproduce:

Silverlight (most recent version) installed, Sea Monkey installed. Account on FreeStocks.com (requires Silverlight, add at least two stocks to follow).  None of the keyboard shortcuts seem to work, like 'space' to advance to the next stock in your list, '1' to plot the chart in daily increments, '^1' to plot the chart in minute increments, etc.  for the later short cuts, above the chart is a plot frequency pull down with these shortcuts. (See attachment)


Actual results:

A dialog box opens to change the stock plotted with some choices change the symbol.  (see page 2 of attachment) (Actually I am not sure how to 'normally' open this dialog box.)  These short cuts worked with Safari/Silverlight before Safari stopped supporting Silverlight.


Expected results:

By pressing 'space' should display the next stock in your portfolio, '1' should plot the stock with a frequency of 1 day/point, '^1' plot with 1 minute/point.

Silverlight on macOS is pretty much dead and unsupported by Microsoft now. Same with Windows soon. With 2.49.5 we switched to 64 bit support only on macOS so this can no longer be fixed because there is no x64 Silverlight for mac.Future 2.53 versions will only support Flash until this one becomes EOL too.
