User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20130803193343 Steps to reproduce: 1. I use this demo case : http://jsfiddle.net/tzilliox/x9zqt/. 2. I made the focus on the button 3. I click the button with my keyboard : the space key Actual results: When I click with my keyboard, there is no style feedback. If there was an AJAX event binded that takes time, I could doubt that I have cliked the button. Expected results: When I click the button with my mouse, I could have feedback with the active styles. When I click with my keyboard, I expect to have the same.
This is similar to bug 22600 and bug 93142, but they are about buttons in chrome, not in content, so I won't mark this a duplicate. And I'm not sure this is really related to CSS. Pressing space on a non-styled button doesn't give feedback at all.
