Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 52007

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

If you're a fast typist and want to use the keyboard e.g. to close the browser,
you'll probably type Alt(F X) - in other words, hold down Alt and leave it held
down while you type F then X, all using the same hand.  Mozilla just beeps at
you if you do this; Mozilla only 'hears' you if you use Alt(F) X instead, i.e.
lift up the Alt key for the second key press.  Mozilla's not following standard
Windows behaviour, which is to ignore the modifier key once a menu is active.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.In Mozilla browser window, hold down Alt key, then press F followed by X.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Mozilla/Windows beeps.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should execute 'File/Exit', i.e. close the browser.
