29582 - keyboard scrolling/shortcuts fails after bringing up context menu in textfield

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 27827

(Core :: XUL, defect, P1)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

found this while using today's opt comm bits [2000022808] on winNT, linux and
mac. not sure if the failure is limited only to bringing up the context menu in
a text field, but anyhow...

1. go to the above url (or any url that has an input textfield).
2. click in the "Show mozilla bug no." textfield.
3. right-mouse click to bring up the context menu (which appears).
4. click elsewhere within the page to dismiss the context menu.
5. try to scroll [vertically] using Page Up, Page Down, up or down arrow keys,
or the spacebar.

result: cannot scroll vertically.

6. reload the page.
7. repeat step 5.

result: still unable to scroll --thus i don't think this is a dup of bug 26658,
but either a new bug or a regression of bug 23401. console out (from linux)
below; the errors re: gdkwindow.c occurred at step 4 above.

nominating for beta1...probable regression?

Comment 2

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

noticed some other behavior which may or may not be related to this bug:
although scrolling w/keyboard fails, i shouldn't think that other keyboard
controls should fail... but they do!

eg, within the same session i try to do ctrl/cmd+L, and instead of opening the
Open Web Location, all of the content in the page is selected. on linux, tho',
Alt+L simply does nothing. other common shortcuts like ctrl/cmd/alt+O, +W, +Q
simply do nothing...

pls let me know if am touching upon separate bugs here.

saari: Can you comment on the this bug?  Risks? rewards? reproducible?
Thanks,

All key events are being eaten after bringing up a content menu. This is a bad
regression, and should be fixed for beta.

Hyatt, is this a dup of something you have already?
