Description

[info]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Build ID: 20150125222008

Steps to reproduce:

I created a panel with an simple HTML <input type="text"></input> tag.
This panel opens when clicking on a widget attached to the widget bar.

I run this addon on Ubuntu Linux with Firefox 35.1. The addon is created with addon-sdk 1.17.



Actual results:

When typing in AltGr-Q which is used to produced @, the panel closes already on typing the AltGr key.


Expected results:

The panel should keep open. Otherwise it is impossible to type @, € and other character on German and other keyboard layouts in a panel.

This problem seems not to occur on Windows (7).

I only have access to Ubuntu, where this problem occurs.

What is the difference between Alt and AltGr ?

AltGr is available on standard non-US keyboards, such as international US, UK, German and others. It is at the same position as the right Alt key on standard US keyboards.
