68853 - `Paste' context menu item doesn't work for textfield children of radiogroups

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[Blake Ross]

Build ID: trunk (tip)

Steps to Reproduce:

Make sure you have textual data in your clipboard and...

(1) Open the Preferences dialog (Edit | Preferences...).
(2) Switch to Advanced > Proxies.
(3) Right click on an enabled textfield.
(4) Choose `Paste'.

Result: nothing pastes.  Note that as you right mousedown in step 3, the parent 
radiobutton is focused.  We need to be preventing event bubbling more for 
radiogroups.

Confirmed
Still a problem

Work around is to hit Ctrl-V which worksfine for me.

Radiogroups are unusual because they are containers that take focus.
But I can't find any JavaScript reason for the focus going to the radiogroup.
If you add JavaScript to set focus to the input before displaying the context,
and also before performing a command, I was able to get all the commands except
Select All to work. I can only guess that some C++ context menu code is to blame.
I am guessing that it is not finding the correct control to set focus to.

Further investigation shows that all that lovely code in the textbox binding has
no effect whatsoever on the context menu. Sorry Blake, but I can't help you here.

Oh, by the way, what I tried was:
i. Removed all code from the popups in textbox.xml
ii. Traced mouse, focus and context messages in radio.xml
 1. right mouse down causes input to get focus
 2. right mouse up causes context menu event (this is Win32)
 3. input loses focus to radiogroup for no apparent reason.

More investigation: I was singularly unable to affect the operation of textfield
context menus in the Preferences dialog (inside or outside of radiogroups).
However the textfield context menu in the Javascript Console was affected.

WinXP using a current cvs build

I can no longer reproduce this problem as described (i.e. Copy & Paste now works
fine in the proxy dialog)
