Title:
  Text input fields lost Emacs bindings

Status in Chromium Browser:
  Unknown
Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Before today's full upgrade to 14.04, all the text input fields in the
  chromium browser responded to the basic Emacs navigation keys, such as
  ctrl-a (beginning of line), ctrl-e (end of line), ctrl-n (next line),
  ctrl-p (previous-line), ctrl-f (forward character), and ctrl-b
  (backward character).  The fields these key bindings worked in include
  the awesome bar (i.e. url/search text field), and both single and
  multiline text input fields inside web pages (such as this one).

  Now, none of these keybindings work this way anymore.  This is a
  severe productivity regression.

  This is despite the following facts:

  % gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme
  Emacs
  % gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-theme
  'Emacs'

  and the fact that the keybindings still work in Firefox and other
  applications.
