Confirmed in build 1217 on 2 macs.
Very annoying specially if you have filled a huge form.

[saari (gone)]

So text fields should be marking the backspace key event with preventDefault

I still got that problem in Build 2003011104.
It's not linked to bug 183611, as I have typed nothing.
I can't find an exact path to reproduce all the time but it's there, when I
select 'http://' in the bugzilla URL field and press the Back key (above Return).

i can't repro this, though it seems to be an international keyboard issue
perhaps? please reopen if it happens in a trunk build
