From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (X11; I; SunOS 5.5.1 sun4u) BuildID: 2000061821 I press ALT-n to create a new window. It doesn't create a new window, but just enters "n" in the URL field. All accelerators are behaving the same way. Note that I am not using CDE as my window manager, but Panorama (formerly sold by SCO). I hope that is not the issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Bring up mozilla. 2. Put focus in URL field. 3. Hold down ALT. 4. Press "n". Actual Results: The letter "n" appears in the URL field. Expected Results: A new Mozilla window should have been created. My platform is using the Panorama window manager, not CDE. I'm also executing Mozilla on a 2.6 system, but displaying on a 2.5.1 system.

Works for me on Linux 061908 build, can you try today's build on your system? Also, if you click on the regular page part of the Moz window, does alt+n work?

With build 2000061921, with the focus in the URL field, it still just inserts an "n" into the URL field, but doesn't create a new window. If I manually put the focus into the main page area, pressing ALT-n does nothing.

Sander, can you please try again on a 6/21 nightly build?

Tried again on 6/21 build. No change. However, I also tried the same test, running it on the same workstation, but displaying on a workstation using CDE, instead of Panorama. As I feared, that test case does not fail. It correctly brings up the new window, and doesn't insert "n" into the URL field. Oddly enough, this scenario is similar to an issue I discovered quite a while ago with running Java applications on Solaris, and displaying on either CDE or Panorama. If I display them in Panorama, then accelerators have no effect. I don't remember whether the un-ALTed key would pass through to focused textfields. If I ran the same application, displaying in CDE, then accelerators work fine. Note that accelerators in other applications, like Netscape 4.7x, work fine, whether displaying in Panorama or CDE. I don't know, and I seriously wonder, whether this same symptom will occur while displaying in fvwm or KDE, on Solaris.

*spam* changing all open or resolved bugs that szhu@netscape.com was the QA contact for to sairuh@netscape.com. szhu is no longer with netscape, and these bugs could lie dormant otherwise. sorry for spam.

Tested on Solaris2.6 with build 2000062921. Alt-n works fine. Note that my display actually is on a Linux machine where I use fvwm95-2.

This looks like a modifier problem. Can you post output of 'xmodmap' command if you are having problems. It's best to have Mod1 modifier set to the key you wish to use as Alt.

I tried this on Solaris 2.8 platform using nightly build moz: 2001041710 and see that pressing alt+n keys does not start a new browser. Not sure if this is supposed to work on windows platform. When I tried it on win NT 4.0 with nightly build : 2001041704 I saw the problem as well. ie., a new navigator window was not started when alt+n keys were pressed.

i'm confused, do you have a pref set to use alt as your modifier? if not then ctrl-n from chrome/content (but not edit boxes) should open a new window
Comment 16•23 years ago

ok, thanks, ctrl+n works both on solaris and windows nightlies, as I do not have my prefs set to alt+n..
