User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910 Key events targeted at text elements don't get their Javascript coordinate properties (x, y,pageX, pageY, screenX, screenY) set. Values reported are undefined or 0. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load test page. It tests only for the KEYPRESS event handled at window, but can be modified to test for KEYUP, KEYDOWN, and for activation at target. 2. Type keys at the textbox and textarea. 3. Each KEYPRESS event is caught by a window-level onkeypress handler which displays in the window status area a handler activation counter, eventObj.which, eventObj.x , eventObj.y and eventObj.pageX, eventObj.pageY. Actual Results: KEYDOWN: MOZ: handler not activated NN4.79: correct coords KEYPRESS: MOZ: coords not set NN4.79: correct coords KEYUP: MOZ: coords not set NN4.79: correct coords MOZ reports x = y = undefined; pageX = pageY = (also screenX = screenY) = 0. Same results if handler is activated at target instead of window using onkeypress="handler(event)". This breaks existent pages and significantly restricts key-driven DHTML interface design. Expected Results: All coords should be set correctly for all key events, regardless of level where handler is activated.

Note that in the DOM spec screen coordinates are something specific to mouse events...
Broken keydown on Mac is bug 148130.

Robert - can you give an example of an existing page which this breaks? I just tried in IE (6 on Windows), and your testcase doesn't work there. If IE doesn't implement this and it's not in the standard, then I'm not sure that anyone is going to be convinced to implement it.

reporter replied to me by email: (Bob - for future reference, it's better if you go to the bugzilla web form - the URL is in the bugzilla emails - and post the comments through that, rather than emailing them...)

I observe that text coordinates for the text are wrong (x=0,y=0,w=0,h=0) for the text from the "Location" text-box (Edit->Preferences). This is the cause of gnopernicus bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168746

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.
