Seeing this in Linux too (20021101)

It also locks out the Ctrl+# function. It seems to occur if you click in the
rendering area of the Acrobat reader; if you don't click in the area the
Ctrl+Tab/# functions still work. Clicking on the tab also releases the lock.

This may be an unsolvable Acrobat-based problem, but for now I'll confirm it.

I seem to recall this as being a problem with Mozilla itself, but I can't find
it in Bugzilla.

Maybe dupe Bug 78414

Yes, I was a bit reluctant to confirm this as Phoenix-specific for that reason,
but Mozilla doesn't have the tabbing shortcuts that Phoenix has. I would hazard
a guess that this bug depends on bug 78414, eg once 78414 is resolved then this
bug can then be worked on if any problems persist.

not sure this needs to be a phoenix bug. control-tab (and a bunch of other keys)
exist as tabbing shortcuts in mozilla, and also fail in mozilla.

this is a dupe of 78414

Control-Tab also fails to work from an empty tab (which you get when, say, the
remote server has refused your connection).

I'm also having problems with ANY Mozilla shortcuts while the Acrobat plugin is
available.  CTRL-T to load a new tab/CTRL-N to load a new window, ALT-F for the
File menu all refuse to work while the Acrobat plugin is loaded and is the
active window.

Also, the backspace key as a back button (or the back button on my mouse) do not
work from a page with Acrobat content.

duping, this is an issue with plugins architecture, not Firebird-specific
