On switching from 1.3.2 to 1.4.2, some of our document-level ENTER keydown handlers stopped working when triggered from a just-modified textbox.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Load attached reduction

2. Click on page background, then in textbox

3. Type something

4. Press ENTER

5. Press ENTER again

EXPECTED RESULTS:

The green ENTER indicator bar should flash for each press

ACYUAL RESULTS:

The green ENTER bar does NOT flash for the first press, although the red CHANGE bar does. The green bar DOES flash for the second press.

FURTHER DETAILS:

The reduction binds a handler to the change event on the input, which calls stopPropagation().

Reduction tested on Win2003/IE7; also reported on XP/IE6.

Not reproducible on non-IE browsers.

Reproducible with current nightly.

HYPOTHESIS: (a.k.a. "wild speculation")

1.3.2/IE didn't raise a change event on Enter; this could be a problem since the Enter will often be triggering form submission.

1.4.2 fixes this by detecting Enter keydowns and raising the change manually.

However, it's not cloning (or dummying up) the event object passed to the change handler, so that stopPropagation() on the change event is also stopping propagation of the keydown event.
