Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

When using the arrow keys to navigate around Flash media we get two events for each key down operations.

1) run the attached media in FireFox 3.5.2
2) Use the arrow keys

Results: Key code is written twice causing the event to fire twice.  Navigation in swf content will be movement every two spaces for each key down event.

points to swf in attachment 396531 [details]

Is the html necessary or does the behavior show up just viewing the swf directly?

Sorry I should have mentioned that the HTML is necessary.  This is a wmode!=normal type event.  So if wmode is opaque or transparent the bug happens.

Is this going to be fixed anytime soon? There are many forums across the internet discussing this annoying bug with no solutions. It seems like a simple solution, and one that should have been fixed in 3.5.3. Please fix this soon!

I have the same problem, in wmode (transparent or opaque), the arrows keys event are dispatch two time. What is the solution? is it exist?
