Reported by lily.tah...@gmail.com, Sep 23 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 53.0.2785.116 m
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL, along with the version, after other browsers where you
have tested this issue:
     Safari: FAIL
    Firefox: FAIL
         IE: FAIL

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1)Run the html file attached
(2)Focus on the first input box
(3)Press any key other than a tab key

What is the expected result?
A user should be able to simulate a keyboard event. In our test case, when you press any key, it should move the focus to the next input.

What happens instead?
Nothing

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
We have attached two files. KeyIdentifierDispatchEvent.html works in older version of Chrome. When you press any key, it will move the focus from the first input to the second input.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if

This isn't that KeyIdentifier was deprecated but that untrusted events do not perform the default action now.

See https://www.chromestatus.com/features/5718803933560832

You should be able to move focus to the next field via calling focus() on the next input element.
