616177 - [adbe 2642062] Firefox 4 sends incorrect keycode (0) to flash plugin...

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 628585

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[smadayag]

When the keys, such as shift or ctrl is pressed, Firefox 4 doesn't send the key code to the plug-in... flash then dispatches the key down/up event with the incorrect key code (0) to client swf.

Screen shot and media attached

Method: launch the attached media in Firefox 4
1. Set a focus in a TextField
2. Press Shift Key
3. Press Ctrl Key

Actual: keycode returned is 0

Expected: keycode returned should be 17(CTRL) and 16(Shift)

I've confirmed this with my DebugEventsPlugin from bug 441880.

The bug happens in Cocoa event mode, but not in Carbon event mode.  Current versions of the Flash plugin support the Cocoa event model, so that's what FF4 uses with them.

Previous versions of FF (3.6.X and earlier) only supported the Carbon event model.

This bug is still present in the public release for FF4, although it now misrepresents certain keycodes (such as SHIFT) as 65.

Bug 628585 just landed and might solve this.

I think Mehdi is correct, this is a dupe of bug 628585.
