Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make a page with the following code: <input type="button" onclick="document.location.href='http://mozilla.org/'"> 2. Press the space bar as though you wanted to scroll down. Actual Results: The onclick trigger occurs and the page changes to mozilla.org Expected Results: Spacebar should scroll if there is space to scroll or do nothing (if there is no space to scroll). Why? the button does not have focus. I have not tracked down when this bug started, but it has been present for over 6 months (at least). I'll wait and see if anyone finds a duplicate before I try and track down where the problem started as I'm guessing it might be a regression -- but that's really just hopeful guessing on my part. :) Testcase to follow....

Here's a testcase. The basic steps are as follows: 1. Load page 2. Hit spacebar Make sure you don't do anything else between steps 1 & 2, like press the down arrow. From what I could tell, the minimal amount of code to make this bug show up was as follows: <input type="button" onclick="document.location.href='http://mozilla.org/'"> (of course you can replace http://mozilla.org/ with any URL) It has to be type="button" Note: in the testcase I added some <br> tags so the page will display a scrollbar; but this part is not necessary to reproduce the bug.

Confirmed not present in a clean profile. I was thinking about this very same thing last night/early today -- that I should have checked a clean profile before I posted. Sorry about that. Status -> Resolved: Invalid I'll still probably do some tests to see if I can find what did cause it... just to be sure.

Ok, narrowed down the problem. It only happens when browsewithcaret (F7) is enabled. accessibility.browsewithcaret: True == bug shows up accessibility.browsewithcaret: False == no bug The input field can be anywhere on the page, but the bug is still present. So... I'm guessing this makes it a legitimate bug.... Status -> Unconfirmed Of course, I'll wait for some others to respond and see if this should be "VERIFIED" before doing any additional testing.
