Bug 32602 – Correctly report keyLocation as DOM_KEY_LOCATION_NUMPAD for numeric pad arrow key events on Mac

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Kinuko Yasuda]

There're no layout tests for Numpad arrow key events as current implementation of our eventSender does not support sending numpad key events.

It's strange to call this "add a layout test" since it also changes the behavior of the platform layer. Is that new platform-layer code for the benefit of the layout test only, or does it affect actual browser behavior too?

Please update the WebCore and WebKit ChangeLog to explain the the apparent behavior change. If the test will only pass on some platforms, please add it to the skipped list on other platforms. Please also retitle the bug and its mention in the ChangeLog to cite the behavior change, not just the added tests.

For example, "Correctly report keyLocation as DOM_KEY_LOCATION_NUMPAD for numeric pad arrow key events" would be a better explanation.

r- to address these issues.

That's right, sorry for confusing things.  I was trying to do a few different things in the patch - I've filed another bug (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32983) and updated the bug summary to reflect the things better.

I'm going to separate the patch and update the explanations in the ChangeLog.
Thanks for reviewing,
