Gitea version (or commit ref): 1.11.2
Git version: 2.11.0
Operating system: Debian 9.12
Database (use [x]):
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
- MSSQL
- SQLite
Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io:
- Yes (https://try.gitea.io/user/login)
- No
- Not relevant
Log gist:

Description

I often use keyboard-only navigation on websites forms, but Gitea's login form doesn't work properly for this matter.

Here is the detailed process of my navigation :

The username/e-mail input is automatically focused (this is very great by the way)
I type my username
I press Tab, thus focusing on the password input
I type my password
I press Tab, thus focusing on the "remember" checkbox
I press Space to toggle the checkbox (to checked state, since since initially in unchecked state)
I press Enter to submit the form

Expected result : the form is submitted. (You can test the very same method on plenty of other websites without any problem)

Actual result : the checkbox is toggled (to unchecked state, since previously in checked state)

Temporary solution : between step 5 and 6, I must press Tab again to focus on the submit button, which shouldn't normally be necessary since the checkbox is in the same form as the rest (following the same logic, pressing Enter while username/e-mail and password inputs are focused will trigger submit, which is indeed a normal behavior).

Screenshots

Just displaying a screenshot of the login page wouldn't help very much since it is the same page for everyone. Ideally, I would make a video with keyboard actions in subtitles and blurred password field, but it's really overkill.

Thanks !

This is still reproducable on https://try.gitea.io/user/login

I go through the exact 6 same steps as you do and it really bugs me out.. every single time i try to login.

Had a quick look, seems like our UI framework was causing this: #18851 disables it.
