[OpenLayers-Users] openlayers 2.12rc5 & KeyboardDefaults

[Marcelo Bianchi]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the quick reply and check !

Yes was exactly this issue. Okay, using the observeElement attribute the 
issue goes away and the results is much improved when compared to the 2.11.

Maybe to avoid this issue the KeyboardDefaults control should by default 
be attached to the map div if nothing is specified on the class 
instantiation.

with my best regards,

Marcelo
