With a build from 12/10/99, I can't scroll using arrow keys, with or without GFX scrollbars.
Blocks: 17632
In addition to the arrow keys, Page Up and Page Down also don't work on my 1999-12-11 08 Linux build. Neither of these problems existed on my last nightly (1999-12-06-13 Linux).
Severity: normal → major
Same problem with WinNT4 (SP5) with 12 Dec. build - setting priority to 'major'.
This appears to be a focus bug. Tom, the key event gets into the PresShell Handle event, there is no focused content and the current event frame is the AreaFrame under the root frame. So bnasically the event doesn't get processed by anyone who cares. When you click in the content area what/who should have focus? Apparently nobody has focus now.

Summary: Scrolling with arrow keys is broken → [DOGFOOD]Scrolling with arrow keys is broken
Changing to All/All since this occurs on Linux too (was marked Mac), and marking DOGFOOD. I don't see anything where the arrow keys do work now - i.e., Form Widgets, etc. This makes it very hard to edit form controls. Scrolling using the mouse is also a royal pain... I really hope this is fixed in M12. (This comment made using Linux mozilla 1999-12-14-11-M12.)

Putting on PDT+ radar. But pretty sure this is a dup.
marking this fixed. I think this has been restored in 12/15 builds. page up, page down work in content window. arrow keys work in url bar.

Windows Build 1999121508 - am able to use the page up and down bars as well as the arrow keys for up and down but am not able to use the right and left arrow keys to scroll on the horizontal bar.
That never worked, and is described in bug 7404. I'd love to see it fixed for dogfood, though...

I'm marking this fixed again since, as was pointed out, the horizontal scrolling issue lives elsewhere.

I already e-mailed joki about this, but after poking around Bugzilla, I think I've figured out that I'm supposed to use this field. :) Anyways, using MacMozilla 1999121508 on a G3 running MacOS 8.6, I inconsistently am unable to scroll with PageUp/PageDown after clicking in the window to give it focus. I experienced this while trying to view www.mozillazine.org (among othe

Oops. My bad. Turns out what I'm seeing was a bug w/ window focus when switching between other apps and Mozilla.
This is only partially fixed, with GFX scrollbars turned on. With older scrollbars none of the keys works. I assume we're only supporting GFX scrollbars from now on. If so, let's rip out the old code.

verified on linux and win98 2000-01-18-08, and mac 2000-01-16-08 side to side doesn't work, however as noted earlier this is covered in bug 7404 which is still open.
