Hitting Ctrl+A to select all the text in input fields or textareas doesn't have any effect.

I wonder if that is not the same as bug 982966

Is this a recent regression?

I've just recently been able to get gtk3 to build, so can't say. Source from say last month fail to build for me.

It's because the key theme is bundled for gtk2 only now.

Comment on attachment 8400040 [details] [diff] [review] patch Neil, I see you reviewed this part already, can you check this one please? Thanks.

Seems to work much better with this patch. Thanks !

Comment on attachment 8400040 [details] [diff] [review] patch Ah yes, for textfields the XBL handlers get to execute before the native handlers, so you're seeing the emacs handlers in this case. (Note that ehsan recently changed the order for contenteditable regions and design mode documents so that you'll find that Ctrl+A follows the GTK preferences in that case.)

Hi Cork, would you mind verifying that this is fixed? Thanks! Mihaela, is this something already in automated tests?

Verified fixed in https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/5fa70bd90a8b
