532223 - Select All shortcut inside flash player selects all html content outside the plugin

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 494267

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Supriya Rao]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Safari/531.21.10
Build Identifier: 3.5.5

After Firefox passes in a "cmd-A" keydown event via NPP_HandleEvent and Flash Player return "true" (as in "we handled this") to Firefox, Firefox should do nothing further. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the link http://www.playercore.com/ats/argo/ATS9AS3/Shipping/ATS.html?testID=10004
2. Click on the first text field, press Cmd+A

Actual Results:  
The html text outside the plugin is also selected (the FAQ section)

Expected Results:  
only "Copy and Paste" text inside the plugin should be selected

Apple's Quicktime Plugin exhibits the same behavior.

Under Firefox, go to <http://mac.sillydog.org/qt/mov/embed_s3.php>.  The page has an embedded Quicktime (not Flash) movie.  Position your mouse over the Quicktime movie and hit cmd-A, notice that everything on the page selects.

Go to the same page under Safari and position your mouse over the embedded movie.  Press cmd-A.  Notice that nothing on the page selects.  That would be the expected behavior.

This is a dupe of one or more existing bugs.

Yes, this is a dup of bug 494267.

That's fixed in FF 3.6 and on the trunk.  It may never get fixed in FF 3.5.X.
