160988 - Keyboard shortcuts do not work when focus is on a text area

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 147129

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[aleksr_si]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Mozilla
2. Go to any webpage that has text areas in forms (such as a web-based forum, or
even BugZilla)
3. Focus on the text area (left click on it or use [Tab] to get to it)
4. Use a keyboard shortcut such as Ctrl+N, Ctrl+B, Ctrl+D, et cetera (some will
not illustrate the problem -- for instance, Ctrl+O seems to work fine)
5. Notice that even though you utilise the shortcut more than once, there is no
action whatsoever.
6. Unfocus from the text area and use the shortcut, and notice it works (or
should work!)


If you consider the following important, here it is -- my system is SuSE Linux
7.3, kernel release 2.4.10-4GB, i686 architecture, KDE 3.0.2, XFree86 4.2.0,
Mozilla 1.0.0final (Build ID: 2002052918)
