User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Pressing the ESCAPE key twice when a 'readonly' form element has focus renders
it blank (see i.e.
http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/forms/_INPUT_DISABLED.html). This behaviour
doesn't happen in Internet Explorer 6 and is not according to the W3C
specifications (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#adef-
readonly). Javascript confirms the value of the form element is now "".
Additionally, in my own document, using:
<input onmouseover="alert(this.value)" readonly type="text" value="Algemeen">
yields the following error when "mouseover" event is triggered:
Error: [Exception... "'Permission denied to get property
XULElement.selectedIndex' when calling method:
[nsIAutoCompletePopup::selectedIndex]" nsresult: "0x8057001e
(NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "JS frame :: <unknown filename> ::
onmouseover :: line 0" data: no]
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on any readonly (INPUT) form element
2. It receives focus (it should) but is not editable
3. Press the 'escape' button twice
4. The form element is now blank
Actual Results:
N.A.
Expected Results:
Should have left the value of the form element intact!

Still happens with text fields that aren't read-only: bug 305272.
