Bug 25012 – Yahoo Mail: Keystrokes that do not display anything to user are ignored for onkeypress

• Component: New Bugs
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[jasneet]

I Steps:
1. Go to http://mail.yahoo.com
2. Open a mail.
3. Press Escape key.

II Issue: 
The mail isn't closed, but other functions continue to work. The opened mail should be closed and you should go back to the current mail folder.

III Conclusion:
Looks like Webkit ignores keystrokes for onkeypress that aren't displayed to user like Esc, Backspace, Tab, etc. FF3 and IE7 aren't ignoring those.

IV Other Browsers:
FF3: OK
IE7: OK 

V Nightly tested: 42138

The issue with Esc is already tracked as bug 18157. IE 7 does not dispatch the keypress event for Tab or Backspace, and we chose to match IE behavior.

Actually, this bug is a regression, and a duplicate of bug 25147 - even though the reduction fits bug 18157, the actual Yahoo Mail issue does not.

That's not quite correct, it is only a regression on Mac, not on Windows. Keeping as a duplicate for now, but may need to track this bug on its own.
