Bug 1561650 - Ignore unused modifier keys on keydown events in <tree>

Details | Review

regression - alt+home isn't showing the start page, it acts like a bare home key

Seen on beta 68 and nightly. Not sure if it regressed earlier

Alice, can you please find the regression for us.

What is the start page? I do not remember it.

Flags: needinfo?(alice0775)

You get the configured start page from "Options > General, Thunderbird Start Page" displayed in the message preview. Try it in TB 60.

Okay, I will

Thanks, Alice.

Brian, do you have any idea why that tree conversion would have affected what Alt+Home triggers?

Flags: needinfo?(bgrinstead)

These keydown handlers wouldn't run if the Alt key was pressed (no "alt" in the modifiers attribute), but when converted to CE they do run.

(In reply to Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan) from comment #7)

These keydown handlers wouldn't run if the Alt key was pressed (no "alt" in the modifiers attribute), but when converted to CE they do run.

Good catch. If this is the case (missing modifiers attribute on XBL handler causing the handler to not run), then I think this would be a behavior change with many XBL -> CE conversions, where we are just checking if the key matches and checking that modifiers that are explicitly specified do match.

A few thoughts:

  • This could be fixed as a one-off in places where we actually rely on this behavior, or we could go back and change previous conversions to match the behavior. It depends on how much consumers are intending for / relying on this behavior. I lean towards the former, at least to figure out what approach works best (using this regression as a test case). Then we might want to go and backfill.
  • If the "no modifier specified, so don't run handler" is the most common place this comes up, we could have a helper function (in a new JSM?) like hasNoModifiers(event) which returns basically !["Alt", "Control", "Meta", "Shift"].some(modifier => aEvent.getModifierState(modifier)); and gets used in the same place as the event.key / event.keyCode checks.
  • There's some semi-relevant code called eventMatchesKey that does some modifier checks for XUL <key> elements: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/8a990595ce6d5ed07ace2d4d5d86cc69aec90bde/browser/base/content/utilityOverlay.js#732. I guess we could make a version of that like eventMatchesModifiers which passes in the expected modifiers as a JS object instead of as an attribute.

Geoff, weren't you going to file an M-C bug pointing out the things which might go wrong there?

Bug 1561650 - Ignore unused modifier keys on keydown events in <tree>

Since somehow the bug is on the TB product, I can apply our flags here. I'll put it only our release branch, in fact, I could have put it onto the beta branch, had it been available yesterday.
