Firefox 18.0.1 is showing very odd behavior. I'm wondering if this is
reproducible for other in Firefox or other browsers.
1) open http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/simple2.htm
2) in the command textarea, enter
background yellow
3) click on an atom
4) back in the textarea enter
background white
Did that work? For me (4) fails to enter text.
5) click on the URL line, as if you were going to go to a new page
6) back in the textarea enter
background green
It works, right?
I sure don't remember this being a problem -- or, actually, I remember
something similar to this some time ago. Has it just suddenly reappeared?
I know what is basically happening, and I can turn it off.The applet, when
you active it by clicking in it, also activates a keyboard listener.
Somehow Firefox is not recognizing that the textarea should take that over,
and the applet's keyboard listener is continuing to take the keys. So, in
(4), if *in the textarea* I type CTRL-K (which turns on key entry) and
then
background white [ENTER]
I see those characters in the bottom left-hand corner of the applet, and
the command is executed.
Thoughts on this? Is it a feature I should just remove?
