296412 - page down key doesnt page down

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 194937

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[ajr]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050602 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050602 Firefox/1.0+

Pressing page down on any freshly loaded page does not page down. If I first
click in the client area then it works. 
Related issues:
1) spacebar doesn't page down. Used to work <1.04. Works on 1.04 after clicking
into client area. Doesnt work at all on deer park 1.
2)Sometimes page-down flashes next page then jumps back. Similar for page-up.
Sorry I CNR at will. 
3) Sometimes after paging down awhile, pageup/down both stop working. Sorry, CNR
at will, but I saw this on the bugzilla bug list page. after paging to end of
list, could not page back up. (I suspect focus is landing in an input field).

Reproducible: Always

I have tried again on 6/3 build with same results. Here is a test case:
a) goto http://www.mozilla.org/projects/deerpark/
b) dont click in page yet. otherwise press CTRL-R to reload
c) press Page down , page doesnt scroll.
d) press END, page doesnt scroll.
e) left click on the word congratulations
f) press space bar, page doesn't scroll
g) press END, cursor moves to end of line instead of scrolling page
h) press Page down, page scrolls and "Firefox project page" link gets focus
i) press Page down, page doesnt scroll (actually scrolls and jumps back)

That's not a latest build.
There is no point testing 3 week old builds w/o verifying the latest ones

forget that comment.
anyway, it still works for me and others,
You may have an extensionproblem.
Try if it still happens in -safe-mode

reproduced in safe-mode on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050609 Firefox/1.0+

Also this has been reproduced by others on latest build, as I pointed out in IRC

This occurs with carnet browsing on (f7) doesn't with it off.

Is this a bug or the expected behaviour?

This is the expected behavior of caret browsing and will be fixed by the fix to bug 194937.
