275797 - Highlighted text in any input field does not get picked by PGP shortcut keys

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Pavel Penaz]

I am not sure how to describe this bug the best, it occurs every time and is not
present in IE 6.0.

Steps to reproduce

1. Login to your Gmail account
2. Go to 'compose message' page
3. Write some text in the message area and highlight it
4. Set PGP 8.1 to default shortcuts (encrypt is by default CTRL-SHIFT-E)
5. Press the shortcut

What really happens:
PGP dehighlights the text and highlights everything else around the originally
highlighted text, and only then encryption is applied. This way completely
different text is encrypted.

What should happen:
PGP should apply encryption on the highlighted text. This works in IE.

Worksforme, 1.0 and 20041223 trunk. No good ideas about why it doesn't work for
you, though.

Strange, I've just found this bug affects any text in any input text field.

Step to reproduce:

1. Go to http://www.google.com
2. Write a search query
3. Highlight the text you wrote in the input field
4. Press the PGP shortcut

See what happens.. I tried this with a new profile.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

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

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.
