I frequently use my keyboard’s cursor keys when going through longer topics as I’m prone to wrist pain when using the scroll wheel for long periods.
What I noticed is that the cursor keys stop working when doing the following:
- Go into any sufficiently long topic, e.g. [the missing plugins thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-the-most-awesome-plugin-for-discourse-that-does-not-yet-exist/31).
- Click the post navigator to open it fully.
- Select the post number, replace it with e.g. 200.
- Press Enter. ( **this is the important step** , clicking “go” appears to work)
- The post navigator closes and you are taken to the requested post.
- Press Up / Down on the keyboard. This won’t do anything.
Notice that on mobile (Android in my case) the focus also stays if I press Return from the on-screen keyboard (the “go” button is rather hard to hit accurately). While not blocking I still see the Copy / Cut / Paste controls overlay there until I open the post navigator again or dismiss the overlay.

Hmm seems like a legit bug @eviltrout

Curiously it only happened in Firefox for me. Here’s a fix:

Thanks for reporting it!
