Details
With the new menus capturing the AltGr key presses it's impossible to write some
letters with a swedish (and I guess many others) keyboard. For instance '~',
'$' and '€' are hidden under AltGr. Especially ~ is difficult to live without in
a browser.
When I press AltGr and press another key, nothing happens. When I let up the
AltGr key the menu is activated.
System: Windows NT SP5, swedish keyboard.

The relevant code is in nsMenuBarListener::KeyDown() I think. Some way AltGr
should be separeted from the ordinary Alt. I don't know whick keycodes they
generate but I guess it shouldn't be too difficult.

Adding Erik to the cc list. Erik, what's the right way for me to check for the
ALT key press in an XP way? I suspect we may need to have a method that I can
call on nsIWidget or something that can give me the correct code of the key to
check for (then some platforms can just disable the behavior, and you could
put any necessary internationalization code behind such a function call)... does
that sound reasonable, Erik?

What happens if the Alt KeyEvent isn't consumed by KeyDown()? Would that solve
it?

This works now. I guess this has been fixed by the change to nsMenuBarListener.
I mark the bug fixed.
