Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; ru; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0.0.2 (Ubuntu-edgy)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; ru; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0.0.2 (Ubuntu-edgy)

Firefox 2.0.0.2 on Ubuntu Linux does not call onchange event handler on textarea any more.

Both 2.0 on Linux and 2.0.0.2 on Windows does not have the problem so it looks like a platform-specific regression.

Neither inline onchange= handler nor DOM-added handlers are called.

Provided URL demonstrates the issue.

Reproducible: Always

Bug 370521 is marked as being fixed in Firefox 2.0.0.2.  Are you using a Firefox 2.0.0.2 build from mozilla.org or from Ubuntu?

This is official Ubuntu 6.10 build marked as: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; ru; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0.0.2 (Ubuntu-edgy)

I'm going to report it to them.

The problem appears to exist as well on Seamonkey 1.1, see also http://tonnerre.users.bsdprojects.net/tmp/formtest.html

Also, this seems related to Bug 355367 so there appears to be a general problem

Ubuntu has got 2.0.0.3 as of today so the bug is not relevant for me.
I'd close if Tonnerre's comment were taken into account elsewhere.

No bug or patch referenced as the code fix.  (It's not clear if bug 355367 was actually the solution or not.)
