157569 - [XBLFC] shortcut keys in list box aren't working (letter matching).

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 122038

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Judson Valeski]

using today's win2k trunk build. I'm not sure if XBL form controls are on or off
by default on the trunk; I *think* on, hence my selection of the XBL component.

steps to repro:
1) view a bug that you're cc'd on.
2) put focus in the list box.
3) hit the first letter of your bugzilla id.
4) notice that you are not taken to your name in the list.

expected results:
typing the first letter of a list box entry takes you to that entry.

Actually, xbl-based form controls are off by default in current trunk builds.
You can check whether it is set in a given profile by going to the Debug 
panel in prefs, where there is a checkbox to enable/disable xblfc.

However, in a current win2k trunk build, this works (selection in select moves 
to name with matching letter) with xblfc disabled, but does not work when 
enabled (and restarted).

I don't see a duplicate listed, but I wouldn't be surprised if there already 
is a bug report for this feature.

I indeed have xbl based form controls turned on in my build.

Well the other bug is contemplating incremental search implemented in xblfc.

Frankly, that's useful for searching things like address books or help indexes, 
but I think that in a typical web page, people want (and by past practice) 
expect this to be a shortcut jump to an item that begins with the letter typed.

Reopening this bug. This bug is for the implementation of "conventional" 
behaviour. If it falls out of the other bug, or if there is compelling UE
evidence that "incremental" is better for typical web pages, then mark 
this bug wontfix.
