Details
When Mod2 is active (Num Lock on my system), Mozilla executes commands as if I had Mod1 active. For example, with Num Lock on hitting "w" closes the window, hitting "n" opens a new window.

With 1999-10-15-11-M11 on Windows NT, a similar behaviour is evident. With NUMLOCK on, the first keypress, and only the first keypress, after Mozilla gets focus is interpreted as if ALT had been held down at the time. In fact, whether NUMLOCK is left on or not, no other keypress seems to do anything until another window gets focus then Mozilla gets focus again. I don't know the keyboard modifier numbers, but from what jay@tamboli.com reported, it sounds like he was seeing NUMLOCK act as CTRL, not ALT. Curious.
It is acting like ctrl, not alt; however, it's not only the first keypress that is getting modified. For example, I can turn on numlock and type "nn" and get two new windows.

The ALT-modification with NUMLOCK seen on Windows NT is bug 17683, now FIXED, and has nothing to do with this bug. That probably means that this bug is OS-specific.

So my guess is this: The linux widget toolkit is passing through keyboard events with the ctrl flag set anytime the numkey is down when the flag should properly be false at that time. Waqar since you've inherited the linux gecko stuff can you take a look?
