Description

Intention:
Edit https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Sandbox

Steps to Reproduce:

Click on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Sandbox?veaction=edit

Press down arrow key. Nothing happens.

Press up arrow key. Nothing happens.

Huh, how do I get off this template?

Actual Results:
Left and right arrow keys take me to the slugs on either side, so why don't up and down arrow keys do the same?

In my brief testing, this doesn't happen if there is an infobox and text on the page. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Sandbox is the only page that I'm sure it always happens on.

Reproducible: Always

Version: unspecified
Severity: minor
URL: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Sandbox?veaction=edit

It happened that I ran over that issue while debugging. Here some details that may help:

The problem is, that after focussing 've.ce.Surface.onModelSelect()' runs into a case which seems to be dedicated to pasting situations:

...
if ( next ) {
  rangySel = rangy.getSelection( this.getElementDocument() );
  if ( !ve.contains( this.$pasteTarget[0], rangySel.anchorNode, true ) ) {
    ...
  }
...

After that the window selection is on the paste element which will make the next up/down do nothing, but leaving the navigation to the CE.

HTH,

Oliver
