Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0

Steps to reproduce:

Press Alt and Spacebar together.

Actual results:

A keydown even was set with key set to 0x20.

Expected results:

A keydown even was set with key set to 0xa0.

Note that this is for macOS, not Linux. I'm just on a Linux machine right now filling this out.

This page can be used for testing:

Right now Chrome and Firefox behave the same, and Safari is the only browser that sends a non-breaking space. However they assert they have the correct behaviour:

So I'm filing this bug here with you.

I'm sorry. I must have gotten something confused somewhere. I can not reproduce any issue any more on my end.

Sorry for the noise. :/
