When the keyboard layout is other then English (say Russian) none of shortcuts works. But when I select Engish layout (qwerty) all of them works fine.
For example, keyboard copy and paste does not work with Russian keyboard layout.
Nevertheless on Windows XP this shortcuts works with any layout.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose any non-qwerty keyboard layout
2. Try some shortcuts. Copy-Paste for example.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens. shortcuts does not work.

Expected Results:  
Obviously I expect to perform the shortcut's action.

I did not try to reproduse this bug on layouts with contains both latin characters and non-latin such as umlauts in german. I did not try to reproduce this bug on other Desktop environments other then GNOME. But here this bug sits for long time (FF 1.0.5, 1.0.6, 1.0.7 and GNOME 2.6, 2.8, 2.10 and 2.12.1).

Could you download Firefox 1.5 and see if you're still seeing this? http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/
