Hi, I think we need 6.8.1 because of the problem in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-5194. The quickstart shows that textField.add(new AjaxEventBehavior("keydown")) doesn't work because the event' default behavior is prevented.
org.apache.wicket.ajax.attributes.AjaxRequestAttributes#allowDefault default value was 'false' since 6.0.0 but it seems it was not used at all in many cases before the changes in WICKET-5093: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/wicket/repo?p=wicket.git;a=commitdiff;h=a11ce8a7e3b575385d8f03db62130517a2b80d09 https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/wicket/repo?p=wicket.git;a=commitdiff;h=6eec04b135a60c31fac7b74b866d9fdcc862ef30 I suggest to change the default value of 'allowDefault' to 'true'. Do you see any use cases where the value should be 'false' ? The 'false' value was because AjaxFallbackLink should not execute it default behavior - following its href location. But here really the effective JS event property is 'stopPropagation' which has been extracted to its own property in AjaxRequestAttributes. A workaround is to use: getAjaxRequestTargetListeners().add(new AjaxRequestTarget.AbstractListener() { @Override public void updateAjaxAttributes(AjaxRequestAttributes attributes) { super.updateAjaxAttributes(attributes); attributes.setAllowDefault(true); } }); in YourApp#init(). But we cannot ask all users to do this until 6.9.0 is released. What do you think ? Should we fix this and release 6.8.1 as soon as possible ?
