1872617 - paste into text input requires extra manual keystroke to be accepted

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1198363

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:123.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/123.0

Steps to reproduce:

text input fields:

• paste text

When this happened occasionally, it was a small irritant. Today, trying to reset password at https://windstream-email.auth-gateway.net/passwordreset, I pasted EVERY field; but until I used a keystroke in any field, the Continue button would not activate.

Actual results:

text not seen or accepted by server
Workaround:

• paste text
• add a character via keyboard
• backspace added character
• field now acts as if all pasted text was manually input

Expected results:

treat pasted text as keyboard input without requiring above workaround.

[e-mail] sorry you have this issue. This is usually due to the web site implementation, instead of relying on change events they most likely expect keyDown events in the input.
