This should never happen. This bug was triggered by bug 107376 in a previous version of Launchpad, suggesting that the general cause is JavaScript focusing a text field, and then using CSS to hide that field. It seems unrelated to the document.designMode DOM property, because the page did not become editable. Steps to reproduce: 1. In Firefox or Epiphany, open any bug page, such as this one. 2. Wait for the Subscribers box to finish loading. 3. Press the Up or Down arrow keys. What should happen: The page scrolls. What actually happens: A visible caret moves through the page.
