Bug 241902 – Pressing shift+tab when focused in the middle of a contenteditable element doesn't work

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: HTML Editing

[Jamie Birch]

STR:

1: Navigate to: data:text/html,<div><button>Bold</button><button>Italic</button><div%20contenteditable="true">Hello</div><button>Bold</button><button>Italic</button></div>

2. Click between the 'e' and the 'l' in 'Hello'.

3. Press shift+tab

Expected results:
Focus moves to the "Italic" button

Actual results:
Focus doesn't change.

Firefox and Chrome produce the expected results, as does a regular <input type="text"> field.

[Jamie Birch]

The expected results assume that the user has turned on Preferences... > Advanced > Accessibility > "Press Tab to highlight each item on a web page".

If the user has turned this setting off, then the actual result (focus doesn't change) is still true, but instead the expected behaviour would have been for focus to move to the URL bar.

I can reproduce this. Very weird!

Likely a regression from https://trac.webkit.org/r201832.
