Description Hiroshi Hatake 2017-07-12 10:04:03 UTC

Description of problem:

When running firefox on weston, Alt modifier key is not handled.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch Firefox
2. Visit some pages
3. Press Alt + ← or Alt + →

Actual results:

Latter reproducible step expects to fire "GoForward" or "GoBack" event, then moving visited pages which listed on history in current tab.

Expected results:

Nothing to do.

Additional info:

Firefox handles modifier keys by itself.
It depends on X11.
And when not existing X11, mModifierMasks is always set as 0.

https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/widget/gtk/nsGtkKeyUtils.cpp#433

Used commands:

$ weston

And in another terminal,

$ WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 GDK_BACKEND=wayland ./mach run

$ WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 GDK_BACKEND=wayland firefox-wayland
is also usable to confirm this bug.

Oops, "Actual results" and "Expected results" are reversed XD

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 27 development cycle.
Changing version to '27'.

Comment 4 Robert Mader 2017-12-08 14:31:33 UTC

I can confirm this running gnome-shell + firefox-wayland in flatpak from https://firefox-flatpak.mojefedora.cz/

Comment 5 Georg Müller 2018-06-01 10:24:34 UTC

Same on Fedora 28 with the latest firefox-wayland binary

Comment 6 Rodolfo Granata 2018-06-12 02:39:00 UTC

Same deal, is there a workaround?

Comment 7 ashie@clear-code.com 2018-06-13 13:56:23 UTC

I have a minimum patch for this issue:

I'll post it to bugzilla.mozilla.org.
