Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 379812

(Camino Graveyard :: History, defect)

Description

[Jason Madden]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en; rv:1.9.0.3pre) Gecko/2008092400 Camino/2.0a1pre (like Firefox/3.0.3pre)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en; rv:1.9.0.3pre) Gecko/2008092400 Camino/2.0a1pre (like Firefox/3.0.3pre)

In the 2.0 nightly builds, the delete key (also known as the backspace key) no longer navigates to the previous page in the history list. The user is required to use another keyboard shortcut.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Navigate to page A. 
2.From page A, click a link to go to page B.
3.As soon as page B loads, press the delete key. Notice that nothing happens.
Actual Results:  
Pressing the delete key on a page doesn't result in any navigation.

Expected Results:  
Pressing delete if no text field is focused should navigate to the previous page in history: http://caminobrowser.org/documentation/hiddenprefs/#BackspaceAction

This works as expected in 1.6.4. I have no setting in user.js, so the default value for browser.backspace_action should be used. Tested on 10.5 with Dvorak and US keyboard layouts.

Sadly, I did search, but I did not find. Perhaps I failed to pay enough attention to 'Accessibility' (where that bug is located). I'll know better next time!
