STR:

  1. Compose a long email or reply to a long email in Gmail.
  2. With the cursor in the compose textbox, press PageUp or PageDown.

Expected results:

The cursor moves up or down by a page.

Actual results:

Nothing happens.

I cannot reproduce the symptom on Mac and Windows.
Could you provide the firefox version and which platform?

I'm running a recent nightly on Linux. I checked again today and confirmed the issue still occurs.

widget?

I reproduced only in the editor for replay, but not only on Linux.

botond:

What do you see keyCode value and key value of keydown event when you press PageDown and PageUp in the testsuite?

For PageDown: keyCode=34 and key=PageDown
For PageUp: keyCode=33 and key=PageUp

Okay, then, this shouldn't be our bug. We need to compare with Chrome/Chromium's behavior, and if different, we need to contact Google.

I just tested a recent Firefox nightly on Windows, and the problem occurs there as well.

I tested Chromium on Linux, and there it works fine.

Thanks! Mike?

Thanks, I've sent an email to Google on our partner list.

PageUp/Down works for me in 68 Nightly on Windows 10. My laptop keyboard uses Fn+UpArrow and Fn+DownArrow keyboard shortcuts instead of dedicated PageUp/Down keys, in case that makes a difference.
