User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070220 Firefox/2.0.0.2 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070220 Firefox/2.0.0.2 In FireFox 2.0.0.2, the four keys: Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Page Up and Page Down will generate KeyDown events but not KeyPress events. All other keys work normally. This has been tested on both the Linux and Windows builds. This bug was not present in FF 2.0.0.1 or previous versions. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a little test script that contains an <INPUT type="text"> element and handlers for KeyDown and KeyPress that tell you when they fire (e.g., see below). 2. Focus the input field and press various keys; note that for each key pressed, both events fire. 3. Now press UpArrow, DownArrow, PageUp or PageDown. Actual Results: Only the onKeyDown event fires for UpArrow, DownArrow, PageUp and PageDown. Expected Results: The onKeyPress event should fire for these four keys. Here's a silly little test page as described above: <html><head><script type="text/javascript"> press = down = 0; </script></head> <body> <input type="text" name="test" onkeypress="document.getElementById('press').innerHTML='KeyPress events = '+(++press);" onkeydown="document.getElementById('down').innerHTML='KeyDown events = '+(++down);" > <p id="press"></p> <p id="down"></p> </body></html>

Huh, what could have caused this regression. Reporter, could you upload the testcase using "Add an attachment".
Ok, I think this is related to autocomplete. When autocomplete="off", keypress is dispatched.

OK, per request of Smaug, a slightly more elegant test script is attached which accomplishes the same task as the silly example inlined above. Focus the input field and then type. Up/Down arrows won't update the KeyPress listing.
