Details

(Whiteboard: [PDT+])

Tab, arrow keys, home/end keys, and page up/down keys not working in text fields. They work with other non-text form elements (radios, pulldowns, etc). Build tested as 1999121208
Severity: minor → major
OS: Windows 98 → All
Hardware: PC → All
Moving to HTML Form Controls and reassigning. I see this in Linux build, same date. Marking All/All and major.

Steve, is this your's or EricP's
Target Milestone: M12
Assignee: buster → akkana
assigning this one to akkana for tracking of key binding breakage
They work in text fields, but everybody thinks they don't because of the focus problem (having to click in, out, in, in the text field before focus is really there). This is saari's bug.

Summary: Tab, arrow keys, home/end keys, and page up/down keys not working in text fields → Dogfood: Navigation keys not working in text fields
targetting p2 for m12, putting on dogfood radar, shortening summary to fit.
Putting on PDT+ radar.

Akkana, I'm *not* seeing the focus problem. I click one and can navigate with the arrow keys just fine. I've tried this on MacOS and Windows.
Perhaps this bug should be marked fixed. I think we still had the "have to click four times even to get arrow keys" bug when this was filed, whereas now that bug only applies to overlays.
Not fixed in today's opt comm bits. In a form, on all platforms, these keys affect the page rather than the text field.
clarification: multi-line text fields
