901363 - jQuery .keyup() command working incorrectly in Linux Firefox build

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect)

Description

[highbomber]

Attachment: test.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130627161625

Steps to reproduce:

I executed the attached script, which was to execute a function when a key is pressed, and another function when a key is released.


Actual results:

When the key is pressed, the initial function is called correctly. However, upon release, the second function is never called.


Expected results:

The second function should have been called. This script works incorrectly on my Linux Firefox v.22. The script works correctly in other browsers, including Windows Firefox v.22. See attached jsfiddle and HTML file.

You should use '&& e.type == "keydown"' instead of '&& e.keyCode == 16' in the handler.

This works. I wish I had thought of it. Why do other browsers (including Firefox on Windows) not require the keydown check? If it isn't of consequence, this bug can be closed.
