When we open an alert box on CTLR + space we can't press escape to go back anymore. And also we can't swith into other tabs than the original tab. It does the zoom effect but doesn't swith into the tab when pressed once. When you press the same tab again it works. When you try to press always a different tab it never activates the tab. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. attach keydown event handler and open call alert() when event.keyCode == 32 && event.ctrlKey 
2. two or more tabs + this new HTML page and press CTRL + space 
3. this will show the new TabCandy and your alert box
4. try to press escape to go back to the tab
5. try to click on other tabs (don't click 2x on the same tab)

Actual Results:  
4. doesn't switch you back
5. doesn't switch you to the tab, only zoom effect is shown


Expected Results:  
Escape should switch you back, swithing between tabs should work on the first click

This should be resolved by bug 592183. Reporter, can you confirm?

Yep, tried using 4b7pre from 28.9. and works as expected - CTRL + E opens the TabCandy and is preventable. Thanks!
