253472 - can't focus or type in input type=file

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

It is no longer possible to focus or type in the text input part of an input
with type=file.  This is a regression between Linux nightlies
2004-07-24-07-trunk and 2004-07-25-07-trunk, i.e. in the interval
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=MozillaTinderboxAll&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=explicit&mindate=2004-07-24+05%3A20&maxdate=2004-07-25+06%3A06&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot

Steps to reproduce:
 1. load http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?bugid=253472&action=enter
 2. click in the text part of the file input (next to "File: ")
 3. press the "/" key
 4. click in the text part of the "Description: " text input
 5. press shift-TAB

Actual results:
 2. nothing
 3. find as you type starts
 5. "Bug 253472" is outlined (has focus)

Expected results:
 2. blinking cursor in text part of file input
 3. "/" appears in text part of file input
 5. some part of file input is outlined (has focus)

WFM at least on Windows in 7/28 build: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;

Could be that one of my patches fixes it, such as bug 252984.
