RAP 1.4.2 TextCellEditor trouble on Firefox 12 [message #857365]

Hi,

I've experienced some troubles with the RAP 1.4.2 TextCellEditors on
Firefox 12:

When selecting the cell, it is not possible to insert text any more. The
org.eclipse.jface.viewers.TextCellEditor#text.keyListener
is called, but
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text#setText(String)
will never be reached.
Adding content by copy/paste is possible.

On Firefox 11, this problem didn't occur.
Is this a Firefox bug? A problem of RAP? Some implementation detail I
missed?

Regards, Oliver

Hi Oliver,
just did a quick check (Controls Demo) with RAP from CVS HEAD (1.5M6)
and TextCellEditor is working as expected in Firefox 12. Unfortunately,
I can reproduce the problem with 1.4.2 and Firefox 12. When a key
listener is attached on the server-side, in RAP 1.4.2 we cancel the DOM
event and afterwards generate it programmatically again if doit flag is
set to true (see AsyncKeyEventUtil.js). Probably, this programmatically
generated key event on the client does not work anymore in Firefox 12.
As we drop the support for key event doit flag in RAP 1.5:
367871: Remove support for doit=false for KeyEvents
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=367871
it is working there without a problem.
These are my thoughts without doing a deep investigation.
Best,
Ivan

Maybe this is the answer of the question:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_the_Editor_from_XUL#Editor_event_handling
"Starting in Gecko 12.0 (Firefox 12.0 / Thunderbird 12.0) , the editor
refuses any events sent by unprivileged content."

Hi,

we have the same problem in our application which is based on RAP 1.4.1. It is impossible to type text if a cell editor is used. The same problem exists for text fields with autocompletion (ContentProposalAdapter). Pasting text from the clipboard works fine in both cases.

Is there any solution for RAP 1.4 or do we need to use RAP 1.5 in order to solve the problem?

Kind regards
Sabine

Hi Sabine,
unfortunately there is no a workaround. As it is working in RAP 1.5 and
there is no more service releases planned for the 1.4 branch I doubt
that we will fix it (if possible at all) there.
Best,
Ivan
