36822 - ENTER key pressed in dialogs is being used twice

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[Stephen P. Morse]

If a dialog is exited by pressing ENTER, that keypress is not getting absorbed 
and is being used by the html page as well.  Here's an example to demonstrate 
this:

1. Start browser (this is important -- after doing some operations this bug no 
longer occurs)

2. Go to http://people.netscape.com/morse/password.htm.  This presents an html 
login form.

3. Select edit/preferences from the menu

4. Exit the preference dialog by pressing ENTER (if you click on OK or CANCEL, 
this bug does not occur)

5. Preference dialog closes.  This is good and is what was expected

6. html login form gets submitted (as evidenced by the fact that it is erased 
and then redrawn).  This is bad and was not expected.

Such form submission would occur if the user pressed ENTER when viewing the 
login form.  So it seems like the ENTER that was pressed to exit the preference 
dialog is also being used by the html form.

Another way to exhibit this bug is to use single signon to collect more than one 
username for the form.  Then when going to the form you will be presented with a 
dialog to select which user you want.  If you exit that dialog by pressing 
ENTER, the form gets submitted as well.

Ignore this.  I just pulled a fresh tree and am no longer seeing the problem.  
So it must have gotten fixed with recent changes.
