Summary: can't backspace in url bar → [blocker] [PP] can't backspace in url bar
Target Milestone: M11
adding self to cc: list. (Interestingly, on Linux, a backspace will move the cursor forward. See: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14392)
This seems to have been broken by buster's fix for the '.' key on Windows. The problem is that on the Mac, the charCode for the event is 0x08, not 0, so the editor key listener ignores the key code. There is no obvious solution.

actually, this is a case where the Mac code will need to change to the draft version of the spec due to changes in the editor code which assume the spec is being met. I understand what I need to do. I hope to be able to check in a fix for M11 very soon.
I have checked in a fix for this.
