           Summary: character appears in contenteditable without onkeydown
                    event being fired
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Event Handling
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mikelawther at chromium.org

As reported in http://crbug.com/72588:

1. Go to http://jsfiddle.net/ZSt2d/1/
2. Focus the bordered <div> and press a key - it will not appear in the <div> as the onkeydown event prevents this (CORRECT)
3. Click the button under the <div>. Now you can press a key and the character will be put in the <div> because the onkeydown event is not fired (BAD). After one key is pressed, any more keys are suppressed again, until you press the button again, which results in the same procedure again.

Code from link is:

<html>
    <head></head>
    <body>
        <div contenteditable="true" onkeydown="event.preventDefault();" style="border:1px solid black"></div>        
        <input type="button" value="Click me; then you are able to put one character in the div above me...">
    </body>
</html>

No characters should appear in the contenteditable.

Also tested (on Mac 10.6):

    WebKit nightly (r92303): FAIL
    Chrome 15.0.843.0 canary: FAIL
    Firefox 5.0.1: PASS
    Opera 11.50: PASS
