I cannot figure out how to change this behaviour. It appears to be specific to running on trisquel as this is not the behaviour on other platforms/distros.
This is not Caret Mode as many people may think.
Pressing up/down arrow operates similar to pressing tab/shift+tab in that it enumerates links. This is particularly annoying when you are most of the way down a page and press down arrow to scroll a few more lines and instead it jumps to the top of the page where the first link appears.
Repo steps:
1) Open a long page in abrowser
2) Press down arrow
Observe:
The page will scroll to the first link on the page (usually the top).
I can't replicate this. Can you give an example of a page where this occurs?
Well, there is no page where it doesn't occur in my experience so let's say, DuckDuckGo search results for instance.
DuckDuckGo's JavaScript is what causes it to behave that way. With JavaScript disabled, arrow keys scroll normally for me. Unless this occurs on DuckDuckGo for you while JS is disabled, can you provide an example where the arrow keys are supposed to scroll?
It does happen on DuckDuckGo with JS disabled. For that matter it also happens on this page right now. I can probably send a video if needed.
Feel welcome to delete this comment if the video isn't needed.
The same behaviour is shown in Trisquel 9.0 also.
What version are you running?
Abrowser 93.0 ( 64 bit )
I can't reproduce it, maybe it's what chaosmonk mentioned.
Search addons are not core abrowser, it's user specific, please confirm it happens using any search plugin.
We need to narrow it down to the specific setup so it can be reported upstream.
No plugins installed. I have installed only one extension viz. Ad Block Plus. Even after disabling it, the behaviour is same. The behaviour is same as shown in the video uploaded by stephP.
That's only a behavior when using duckduckgo.
Not the default behavior for abrowser with all serach engines, so it needs to be addressed with duckduckgo search engine add-on developers.
Cheers
Starting in v95 there is a refactoring on search engines.
This seems to have solved the issue at hand, please confirm if this is no longer the issue.
Regards.
The problem still persists. I am using abrowser v96.0. It happens on all webpages, including this one(trisquel.info).
