599887 - [Cocoa] keydown event isn't fired during auto repeat

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

Description

[Masayuki Nakano [:masayuki] (he/him)(JST, +0900)]

Attachment: Patch v1.0

See http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html#events-keyboard-event-order

keydown events must be dispatched when auto repeating key event dispatches keypress event.

This is similar to bug 597981, but this isn't a regression on Mac.

This isn't a regression, so, we shouldn't fix this bug on branches.

This looks fine to me, though I haven't tested it.

As far as I know it doesn't (currently) make any practical difference
-- I don't believe current OS X versions ever send us repeat key
events.

I tried and failed to track down when the "if (![theEvent isARepeat])"
that you removed was added to the code.  Do you have any ideas, Josh,
why it was there?

I guess that he used same logic as old mac widget or gtk2 widget.

I'll land the patch tomorrow even if josh won't review it.

This is correct. I was copying that logic.
