Affected versions

  • 68.0a1 (2019-03-24)
  • 67.0b4
  • 66.0.1

Affected platforms

  • Windows 10x64
  • macOS 10.14
  • Ubuntu 16.04

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch FF.
  2. Go to Office365 login page.
  3. Login with valid credentials.
  4. Select a new blank word document.
  5. Input any random string in the document.
  6. Cut/copy that string from the document.
  7. Paste it and then select it whole(double click or ctrl+a)
  8. Input any text while string is selected.

Expected result

  • The selected string gets replaced if it is selected when inputting new text in the document.

Actual result

  • The new inputted text doesn't replace the string but instead adds the new text to the existing one(happens with a flicker).

Regression range

  • N/A since the fix for this issue is already known.

Additional notes

  • Issue was submitted as per discussed in Slack group #thepowerrrrpoint and we have concluded that this issue is solved if changing the value of dom.keyboardevent.keypress.hack.use_legacy_keycode_and_charcode pref to *.officeapps.live.com
