dojo/_base/connect causing 'Unhandled Error' on Opera with Dragonfly turned on

[lysy_loren]

To reproduce this bug, on Opera 12.00 (Linux):

• open new tab
• run Opera Dragonfly (Ctrl+Shift+I)
• open some page with loaded dojo 1.8.0 (for example: http://dojotoolkit.org/documentation/tutorials/1.8/hello_dojo/demo/start.php)
• switch to console
• run command: require(dojo/_base/connect?, function(connect){});

Dragonfly reports error: "Unhandled Error: WRONG_THIS_ERR" on line 9 in dojo/_base/connect.js

When dojo/_base/connect is used in source code of the page, Dragonfly reports this error too.

Opera fix for testKeyEvent error

[HQJaTu]

I'm suggesting a fix for this issue in attached patch. The idea is to not try the event on Opera. In the original code Opera is excluded anyway:

  return testKeyEvent.charCode == 0 && !has("opera");

Now that the test gives a lot of grievance, it is much better idea to not even try and return false.

On Opera 12.02 (Linux) the problem does not appear. It seems that it was some bug fixes in this area in the newest Opera version.

Given that Opera is being rebuilt based on WebKit?, we should probably close this as wontfix.
