Description August Mueller 2008-02-05 18:26:52 PST
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,

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? 
Comment 7 August Mueller 2008-07-17 11:30:46 PDT
The delete key works for me as well now.
