** Summary changed: - cursor-key navigation in bugs broken with Firefox + A Web page can temporarily turn on caret browsing
** Description changed: - I'm used to being able to click in the body text of a bug and then use - the up and down cursor keys to scroll the whole page up and down. As of - today's Launchpad rollout (but not before), I instead get an I-beam - cursor positioned where I clicked, and then the up and down cursor keys - move that cursor up and down, which is significantly less useful - - existing bug comments (for example) shouldn't be editable so an I-beam - cursor is inappropriate. + It is possible for a Web page to turn on Firefox's "caret browsing" mode + just for that page, such that Firefox displays a cursor in the Web page + text and prevents scrolling from working as normal. This should never + happen. - Moving to a different tab in Firefox and then moving back again seems to - restore normal cursor-key behaviour, so I'm not ruling out a Firefox - bug, but I haven't upgraded Firefox recently and this behaviour only - started today. + This bug was triggered by bug 107376 in a previous version of Launchpad, + suggesting that the general cause is JavaScript focusing a text field, + and then using CSS to hide that field. It seems unrelated to the + document.designMode DOM property, because the page did not become + editable. Steps to reproduce: - 1. open a bug page + 1. in the mpt/launchpad/2007-04-firefox-caret branch, open a bug page 2. click once in the bug page 3. press the Up or Down arrow keys. - - Bug 107376 might be the cause -- A Web page can temporarily turn on caret browsing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107247 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
