Summary GTK platform doesn't send keypress events

Reported 2007-08-22 14:54:33 PDT
In WebCore/html/HTMLInputElement.cpp, code exists to submit the form when a keypressEvent for the Enter key is received on a text field within the form. However, this doesn't work on GTK. It appears that the field never receives a keypressEvent (but it does receive a keydownEvent and keyupEvent). Changing the conditional on line 1159 to check for keyupEvent rather than keypressEvent works, however I have not yet ascertained why keypressEvent does not happen on GTK.

I've updated the summary - this is a more general problem. GTK's PlatformKeyboardEvent hard-codes autoRepeat to false (KeyEventGdk.cpp:483). This means keypress events never happen. Unfortunately I can't find a way to get auto-repeat events from GTK for a keypress, but if I can find something I'll submit a patch.

Sorry, got the cause of this bug completely wrong. Apologies for the noise - I will submit a new bug with the actual cause to avoid confusing the issue.
