Details

BUILD: 2000-09-26-08-M18

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Press CTRL+K.

EXPECTED RESULTS: Should delete the end of the current line if you are in a text
field.

ACTUAL RESULTS: Increases global font size.
I see this too.  I haven't yet figured out why it's happening.
This is jag's.  He was using modifier+K/modifier+J for Increase/Reduce text 
size until modifier++/modifier+- was working properly.  These items now 
properly use + and - in the trunk, but the fix didn't go into the branch.  Will 
need to convince PDT to ++ if this is going to be allowed in (to the branch)...

d'oh, collision moment. occurs on linux too (unable to test on mac due to bug
39117).

addendum: View > Text Size doesn't appear in the branch bits, only in the trunk
bits (even tho' the ctrl+K/J shortcuts work in the branch).
Keywords: rtm
Hardware: PC → All
The short of it is, the text size menu is actually on the trunk, just hidden
away. The branch needs to be synchronized with the trunk in this. Patches are
attached to bug 53207 (re-enable text size menu) and bug 51597 (change to
accel+- and accel++).
Does this still happen?

The patches to bug 51597 are on both the tree and the trunk now.
CNTRL+K doesnt increase font size any more, it doesnt do anything... Shouldnt it 
 cut off the end of the word, or line if you are in a text field? or is that a 
linux only thing?
Vladimire: Are you seeing this (the ctrl-K in text controls not working any
more) on the trunk, or on the branch?
using today's branch bits [2000.10.09.09-n6] on linux and winNT, ctrl+k [and
ctrl+j] no longer increase [or, decrease] the text size.

jag, could this now be marked resolved fixed?

Marking fixed.

Vladimire, I don't think ctrl-k deletes till the end of line on Windows.
Cntrl+k wasnt working on the branch. build 2000-10-09-08-MN6...
 Shouldn't Netscape 6 have the same short cuts on all platforms, especially when 
there is no other platform based shortcut for this key combination. I am 
reopening.

Removing rtm keyword, changing summary.

Thank you for changing the summary to be more clear. Indeed, this isn't "fixed"
yet.

Reassigning to default module owner.

please talk to jglick about this accel key, it is not mentioned in the spec.

It's a standard Unix editing key binding, which conflicts with Netscape's
bindings on Windows (also on Unix, if we persist in using Windows bindings --
that's why we never did in the past).  UE didn't even want ^H for backspace,
which is standard on both Windows and Mac, much less the other Unix bindings.

You can (unless this has regressed) set up custom bindings for text fields and
text areas if you personally want the Unix bindings on other platforms, though
unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for the editor and mail compose (at least,
I haven't figured out how).
Since Don has left, Vishy is taking his bugs in bulk, pending reassignment.
thanks,

it's about emacs bindings or something silly. If anyone intends to reopen it 
please move to PC/Linux.
