Overview Description: the location bar and other gfx text input controls do not accept the delete key. instead of deleting the character to the right of the cursor, the character disappears and is replaced by what looks like a space. Steps to Reproduce: 1) open apprunner in linux (GFX on) 2) the location bar should say http://www.mozilla.org (or something) 3) put the cursor in the middle of the word and press the delete key 4) retype the letter you deleted and hit enter. Actual Results: First, the letter you deleted is replaced by a space. then, when you retype it, it is inserted before the space. then, when you hit enter, apprunner does not understand the url. Expected Results: The letter should be deleted, be inserted by you, and mozilla.org should reload.

Reassigning to Steve.

akkana is handling linux key bindings. this must get done for beta, can be done in M12.

This isn't a Linux keybinding issue; it's that the editor key handler handles delete on KeyPress, but everything else on KeyDown, so it tries to insert the delete character after it's already done a delete. It's time to get rid of the KeyDown handling in nsEditorEventListeners.cpp and do everything on KeyPress, or we'll keep having problems like this. I'm going to do that. Cc'ing buster and tague in case one of them has objection to this plan.

Fixed. All KeyDown handling in the editor event listeners has been moved to use KeyPress instead.

QA Contact massive update.
