[Laszlo-dev] UPDATED For Review: Change 20090203-hqm-r, Summary: Fix for missing key up events in swf runtime

[Henry Minsky]

I'm using IE7 on Windows XP, running under Parallels on OSX.

Here is a trace in swf9 of the key events that are received by the
kernel listener, for two cases
of typing "ctrl-c". The first case the control key is pressed and
held, then the 'c' key is  pressed then released, and then the control
key is released.

ctrl-down c-down c-up ctrl-up

__keyboardEvent 17 onkeydown ctrlKey: true
__keyboardEvent 67 onkeyup ctrlKey: true

Note there is no 'c' key down event, but there is a key up event for
it. The the value of KeyboardEvent.ctrlKey is true because the ctrl
key is still down.


I tried another sequence, which might be something that someone types
by accident
ctrl-down c-down ctrl-up cup

__keyboardEvent 17 onkeydown ctrlKey: true
__keyboardEvent 17 onkeyup ctrlKey: false

In this case there is no "c" key up or down event, but there is a
control key up event.
