Status: CLOSED DUPLICATE of bug 139877

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Shortcut keys no longer activate the menu item, but just highlight it. It's
really inconvinient. For example, I used to do "Right-click, W"
chord to open link in new window; Or "Right-click, R" to save the file. Now I
have to do "Right-click, W, Enter", and that means either taking left hand off
the mouse to press Enter, or making left one hover a long way to do so.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-Click on any link.
2. Press "W" (hot key for "Open in new _w_indow")


Actual Results:  The menu item gets highlighted, but nothing more than that happens.

Expected Results:  The menu item should be immediately activated, as if
left-clicked. It worked that way in 20020417 builds, for example.
