Updated https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308820 . It's been moved to "RESOLVED INCOMPLETE" state. It needs to be reopened on the Mozilla side.
I think I know what is going on. Newer versions of Firefox are firing compositionstart, compositionupdate, and compositionend events; and not dispatching keypress events for dead key combinations. Refer to http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#events-keyboardevents and http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#events-textevents . There an error in the implementation of compositionend. Firefox browsers are not firing textinput events. I believe that this is the only way Firefox will enable JavaScript developers to write code that is OS-independent. This is going to require a more senior Mozilla engineer to give the go-ahead as it will involve the talents of multiple engineers. It's probably worth tracking bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447757 , as it has a new HTML example attached. ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #447757 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447757 -- onKeyPress event not fired when typing accents https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/58693 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
