162557 - Arrow key navigation goes into <input> and <select> form widgets when editing a page with form elements

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P5)

Description

[Charles Manske]

Form elements in a page being edited in Composer should not behave as they 
do in the browser. They should be static objects, like an image.
This is closely related to bug 82547, which concerns mouse event handling in
a form widget in an editing page.
I'll attach a test page.

This behavior prevents us from being able to edit pages with form elements.
If there's a simple hack to let caret navigation jump over form elements, then
we should fix this. We have an excellent Form element UI (bug 45495) that we
haven't been able to use because of problems like this and bug 82547.

1. Put caret on first line. Press down arrow key. Caret will be inside the 
select widget and typing will appear in there.
2. Put caret on last line. Use left arrow until it you just leave the line
(one left keypress when you are at line beggining). Start typing. You won't see

a caret, but text will appear inside the input field and all that you type 
becomes selected!

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, untouched DOM/Storage bug's priority.

If you have reason to believe, this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
