Summary REGRESSION: The delete key doesn't work in the flash interface.

In the flash interface that comes up in http://www.buzzword.com/, the delete key does not work when trying to remove characters from what you might have just typed in. This is only in a nightly build though (r30028), works fine in Safari. (I should also probably mention that this is in 10.5.1++. I Don't have easy access to a 10.5.1 box at the moment.) thanks, -gus

Confirmed with the r30028 nightly build. This is a regression from Safari 3.0.4. I suspect it's a relatively recent regression as the build I'm currently running cannot reproduce the bug, and it's only a day or two old.

A binary search through the nightly builds tells me that it works in r29753, fails in r29781.

After further investigation I believe this may be due to browser sniffing on the website in question. The nightly builds work fine if I have Safari spoof as Konqueror then click through the unsupported browser page. If I manually mangle the user agent string used by the nightly build to look like the following (with the Safari build number bumped to match WebKits): Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_1; en-au) AppleWebKit/525.8+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.4 Safari/525.8 then I am again warned about an unsupported browser but the delete key works correctly after clicking through. I think this will have to be an evangelism issue as there's little we can do to address this.

Evangelism bug shouldn't have P1 priority.

As I tested today in Webkit r35203 delete key seems to work fine now on the reported site. Any confirmations?
