Description George Madrid 2008-02-20 07:09:17 PST 
Something appears broken wrt the cursor keys in javascript-heavy apps. The easiest way to duplicate this problem is to go to docs.google.com/ and create a new spreadsheet. Then, try to use the cursor keys to move between cells. Nothing happens. 

Similar problems occur in GMail. When typing in an email address, and popup list of completions appears. Normally, you can use the arrow keys to move between these and make a selection. This doesn't work in today's nightly build. 

I have confirmed that both of these behaviors work correctly in the current Tiger Safari.

Thanks.

George

Confirmed. Tab and shfit + tab keys also don't work in Google Docs with Webkit r30551.

Can you still reproduce this? I think this was fixed by Google.

Can't reproduce here using Safari 3.1 or the latest nightly.

Using the cursor keys now work fine, however Tab and Shift + Tab still do not work.
