vraa19:40:26  oh i have a webkit question
vraa19:40:51  when i press ctrl+s on a vbulletin forum after editing a post, it
pretends to post a new post, and then it gives me (it being the forum) an error
saying that i need to actually post content
vraa19:41:11  when infact, webkit should read the ctrl+s for the save button to
save the edited post, rather than pretending there is a new post
bdash19:47:21  vraa: what does ctlr-s do?
bdash19:47:26  *ctrl-s
Hwin19:50:15  save
Hwin left the chat room. ()
vraa19:55:12  post
vraa19:55:15  execute action
vraa19:55:20  i dunno, i press ctrl+s to post a reply
vraa19:55:30  usually it's "post reply" or "save" or "submit thread"
bdash19:57:26  ok, so how is ctrl-s being treated as Save?
bdash19:57:35  via an access key? via JS?
CIA-519:57:46  bdash Safari-522 * r21241 / (4 files in 4 dirs): Versioning.
AngryLuke19:58:15  has anyone graphed the amount of open p1 bugs over time?
CIA-519:58:56  bdash Safari-4522.7 * r21242 /: New tag.
vraa19:59:26  bdash: i dont know how to explain it
vraa19:59:30  um, i guess perhaps javascript?
bdash20:00:20  vraa: does clicking the equivalent button on the page work
correctly?
vraa20:00:25  yep!
vraa20:00:33  but i'm so used to using the keyboard, hence i told you guys
about it
bdash20:00:41  ok, so you should file a bug report then
vraa20:00:49  is it a bug though? because i dont want to annoy you guys
Catfish_Man joined the chat room.
jibot20:01:12  Catfish_Man is an Adium developer
bdash20:01:33  vraa: what makes you think asking a question on IRC is less
annoying than asking the same question in a bug report? :)
vraa20:01:44  because you can kick me from irc :D
Catfish_Man20:01:51  hello
vraa20:01:57  do i file it in the bugreporterapple.com thing?
bdash20:01:59  vraa: something "not working" is almost certainly a bug, the
question is whether it is our bug or the websites bug
vraa20:02:00  hi Catfish_Man
Catfish_Man20:02:05  hi vraa
bdash20:02:09  no, you'd file it at webkit.org/new-bug
vraa20:02:17  oh, that's a good point bdash, let me see if i can replicate it
on other vbulletin boards
vraa20:03:26  okay, i think this might be a vbulletin error... or an option
which breaks webkit, let me try camino
vraa20:05:25  camino handles it correctly.
bdash20:05:46  vraa: even if it works in camino it doesn't necessarily tell you
whether it's a WebKit or vbulletin error, many websites have code that doesn't
different things in different browsers, and there's no guarantee the code being
executed in Safari is even correct
vraa20:05:49  okay now i think camino is broken
vraa20:05:54  ajax sucks.
dkirker left the chat room. ("Bye bye!!")
vraa20:06:22  okay here's what i've concluded
vraa20:06:40  webkit handles regular quick reply posts. camino doesn't. camino
handles edits using ajax, webkit doesnt.
vraa20:07:49  bdash: yeah, you're right, is there any way to narrow it down or
to even trick webkit/safari into thinking that "hey, when i press ctrl+s and
i'm editing a post using ajax, save it, dont think it's a new post" ?
vraa20:08:08  it's not that big of a hassle, since i can press back, press
"edit post" and my edits are there (they aren't gone / erased)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Essentially what is going on is that I think webkit is not reading the keyboard
input right and directing it to the right button.

When I make a post on Clublexus and use CTRL+S as the shortcut to submit the
post, it works fine. It doesn't work in Camino though -- so +1 for Webkit :)
However on Clublexus (I can't do it on Ferrarichat or MBWorld because they use
the full editor, not inline editing) when I edit a post and I press ctrl+s
it'll think I'm trying to submit a new post and take me to the full editor for
a new post saying that I have to have at least 10 characters to make a new
post. However when I press BACK to go back to the previous page and I press
EDIT POST, my edits are there. I have to use my mouse to press SAVE to apply
the edits to the post. With Camino if I press ctrl+s while I'm in the inline
editor, it'll save the changes to the post rather than thinking I want to make
a brand new post.
