User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/109.0

Steps to reproduce:

Update Firefox Developer Edition: 109.0b2 (20221213185929): aurora

Focus a date or time input field and try to input numbers with a (num lock activated) key pad.

Actual results:

Only zero (0) working. Other numbers let firefox search the page, similar to when no field is focused.

Expected results:

Input the numbers into the date or time input field

Relevant setting is accessibility.typeaheadfind=true / "Search for text when you start typing" in the preferences page.

So I can't repro this with regular numbers in my keyboard (but I don't have a num-lock keypad). Given the datetime inputs got an overhaul that just got into beta (bug 1676068) it seems likely it's due to that...

Reporter, would you be able to confirm that that bug regressed it using mozregression? That'd be much appreciated.

It also seems like your Firefox build is localized to German from the attachment, is that correct? (Just in case that turns out to be relevant)

Thanks a lot!

Ah, this seems like bug 1804881, we'll either revert the offending patch on beta or get that fix into beta. Thanks a ton for the report and sorry for the disruption!
