203606 - can't scroll with space bar, cursor keys or PgUp/PgDn

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[felix-mozilla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030314 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030314 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

Recent Firebird CVS builds don't let me scroll around with the keyboard.
I can still enter text in forms and move around with the typeahead find, so
keyboard handling is not completely broken.  When I press the space bar or try
to scroll around with the cursor keys, though, nothing happens.  I have to use
the mouse :-(

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. build phoenix/firebird from CVS
2. load a page that is longer than one screenful
3. click in the page to make sure focus is correct
4. press space bar.

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
Scroll down by one page.

default theme, gcc 3.2.3, gtk2, xft.

Recent cvs builds? Your UA strings reports Gecko/20030314, that's a 45 days old
build. Please try with the latest build.

David, can you reproduce?

Reporter, can you reproduce it with the latest Mozilla nightly (with or without
xft)?
This is WFM with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a)

I did "make -f client.mk checkout; ./configure; make" each day in the last week.  I don't know why my user agent string is old, maybe that is another bug for bugzilla to feast on.

This sounds really strange - especially the thing with the UA!
Perhaps we should wait until Felix tried a regular binary for Linux (see bug
#203607).

I just compiled the new CVS version, which didn't even touch the sources for cut
and paste, yet it suddenly started to work again, albeit only after I restarted
X (which I had done before as well).

Anyway, bug gone, user happy.
