Re: [Public WebGL] text input fields broken on Chrome 10 when webgl used

[Giles Thomas <giles.thomas@gmail.com>]

Interesting, this is breaking my WebGL demos too (eg. <http://learningwebgl.com/lessons/lesson07/index.html>).  Someone had reported it (see comments here <http://learningwebgl.com/blog/?p=684&cpage=1#comment-15999>) but I'd got the impression that it had been fixed when I investigated.   However, a fresh install today of Chrome shows the problem.

This is a pretty serious bug in Chrome.  My earlier experimentation suggested that any checkbox or text input field in a page that gets a WebGL context in the onload handler is broken.

Cheers,

Giles

When my users on Windows had their Chrome automatically upgrade from v9 to v10 text input fields stopped working.

Turns out there is a bug entered but it's not clear to me whether any work is being done or if the bug is categorized correctly:

You can see my latest contributions to the thread at the bottom.

I also have an ultra-simple page which demonstrates the issue on Chrome 10 on Windows:

http://visual-demos.dev.concord.org/seasons/test-for-webgl.html

The problem does not occur on Chrome 9 on Mac or Windows, Chrome 10 on Mac, Canary release on Windows or FF v4 on Windows.
