216224 - [ActiveX] Inputing information into certain text areas fails to work

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: APIs, defect)

Description

[Aaron Graves]

Or more accurately, certain text areas can not even get focus, let alone accept
input. Even using Tab or Shift+Tab fails to work. For a simple way to find out
what I mean, visit the provided URL, and attempt to reply to a post (navigating
using a program with the Mozilla ActiveX control embedded). Notice how you
cannot select the name or subject textboxes. Anyone else see this?

Is this a problem in a Mozilla build too?  Or just the ActiveX control?

Comment 2

[Aaron Graves]

Just the ActiveX.

Comment 3

[Aaron Graves]

It appears this bug only affects single line textboxes, not multi-line textboxes.

I went to http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?f=1&i=26230&t=26230 and
was able to tab to the textboxes.  It seemed to work okay.

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.
