[Opera] ALT+F10 doesn't focus the toolbar [CORE-33752]

[Artur Formella]

ALT+F10 doesn't focus the toolbar.

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

Milestone CKEditor 3.x deleted

[Krzysztof Studnik]

Confirmed on Opera 10.61.3484, CKE 3.4.1 Trunk & Demo

[Garry Yao]

Opera's focus get stuck when moving the focus between editable iframe and toolbar links.

[Garry Yao]

Now there's another serious problem now found on Opera that keystroke following ALT doesn't trigger any event ;(

[Garry Yao]

We'll need to switch our default keymap (to Ctrl prefix?) on Opera in case no workaround could be found.

[Garry Yao]

After some investigation, we have no workarounds at hand on neither of the two Opera bugs here, the first patch is even not perfect enough, as #4043, toolbar buttons is not the only broken thing because of this, repeat the bugs:

1. Moving focus from wysiwyg iframe onto any other links on the host page doesn't really blur the iframe.
2. ALT key combination is not detectable, the later keystroke doesn't present a key event.

We'd like to have Opera employee here to give their comments

On alt+key - ops, will report this.. Now tracked internally as CORE-33752, targeted to be fixed as part of a general key event support rewrite due to start shortly.

[Hallvord R. M. Steen (Opera Software)]

Garry, regarding issue 1 in your comment - can you tell me what you're doing to move focus here?

Also, a comment on the suggested patch:

 // Opera requires an invisible input to 'redirect' the focus when 
 // switching focus from toolbar to editor (#4044). 

Have you tried calling document.body.focus() rather than using this input hack?

[Garry Yao]

Have you tried calling document.body.focus() rather than using this input hack?

Note that we're consistently using body focus in Opera now after #6025.

Garry, regarding issue 1 in your comment - can you tell me what you're doing to move focus here?

We're using element::focus() on link elements. Due to recently fixed #6444 (where another Opera bug is reported), the second chunk of hack in my patch is obsoleted now.

@hallvord, I've uploaded normalized TC for above two Opera bugs, we would expect a sooner fix at Opera side.

[Hallvord R. M. Steen (Opera Software)]

Thanks Garry. I've now also reported these: CORE-33795 link.focus() does not remove focus from rich text editor CORE-33796 calling body.focus() on editable body from button onclick fails

[Hallvord R. M. Steen (Opera Software)]

(Both latter bugs are now fixed in Opera 11.10)

[Garry Yao]

Thanks for the update @hallvord, #4043 is now closed while we're still waiting for the ALT modifier key fix to land.

ALT+F10 and ALT+F11 don't work on Opera 11.11

Ticket Test: ​run OR ​view source.

Replying to garry.yao:

Ticket Test: ​run OR ​view source.

While this test may be useful to check the editor behavior to the keys, it has some issues:

• It doesn't apply to the ticket issue because the problem is that the ALT key is being blocked by Opera to reach the page. As a result, the tests is PASSing on Opera, while it should fail to be useful.
• Currently it's not running on IE.

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

@hallvord@opera.com, you said that this one is related to ​CORE-33752, which is a resolved ticket.

We're not able to confirm this fix with Opera 11.61.

I'm a bit confused now. Would you mind clarifying the status of it?

[Hallvord R. M. Steen (Opera Software)]

Hi Fred, this is a very recent fix and it isn't in 11.61. I hope it will be in O12.

As far as I know the current previews of O12 haven't picked up this fix yet - don't remember what core version latest previews use though. You can check the Presto engine version number from the UA string and compare it to information in the BTS or from the engine changelogs on ​http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/ to see whether it should be available.

(To find this "should the fix be available" information in the BTS, look up the master task of CORE-33752 by following the "blocks" link - it takes you to CORE-28739. Then look at the last comments to see what minor version of the engine it has been "integrated" in. This is not really obvious to outsiders, sorry about that ;-))

This particular fix needs a bit of adjustment in Desktop's platform-specific code because key input works differently on Mac/Win/nix/others, so they need to do a bit of work before it's all tied together.

[Hallvord R. M. Steen (Opera Software)]

(AFAIK this fix will be in Presto 2.11.295 and later, by the way..)

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

Replying to hallvord@…: Cool. Thanks for the details. I look forward to seeing this on O12.

[Satya Minnekanti]

I could still reproduce this issue in Opera12

[Hallvord R. M. Steen (Opera Software)]

Try in a 12.50 preview? The keyboard changes were held back a bit.

[Jakub Ś]

Since 12.50 is now known as 12.10 and this is current version of Opera I can confirm that alt+F10 works as expected. Toolbar gains focus.

Thank you Hallvord R. M. Steen (Opera Software)
