Description of problem: Wen typing in numbers [whereever mozilla accepts text input] emacs keybindings misbehave. Esp: Ctrl-E & Ctrl-K Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mozilla-1.7.5-3 gtk2-2.4.14-2.fc3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install FC3 & update mozilla from rawhide (or just install rawhide) 2. enable emacs style editing in by adding the following to ~/.gtkrc-2.0 include "/usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc" gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs" 3. start up mozilla 4. Now get to some 'editable' area [Ctrl-L to type in a URL will do] 5. Now type in just numbers - say '123' Actual results: Ctrl-A works Arrow -> works Ctrl-E doesn't work Ctrl-K kills 'char' instead of 'line' Moving the 'cursor' to the end of the line with 'mouse' doesn't work Expected results: Ctrl-E (end of line) should work Ctrl-k (kill line) should work moving Mouse pointer to end of line should work Additional info: This is probably gtk bug - but I'm filing against mozilla - as I notice this here. I see the same issue with 'firefox'
Just tried gtk2-2.6.1-1 update in rawhide - still the same behavior.
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates, which may have resolved this issue, and Mozilla itself was removed from the latest Fedora Core/RHEL distributions. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of the equivalent package (Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.) available. Therefore closing this bug as obsolete. If you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, please reopen this bug with an additional information.
I hadn't looked at this issue in a [long] while. Looks like I had to follow instructions from: http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/gtk3-emacs-key-theme.html gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-theme "Emacs"
