Details

Often when typing in the location bar, random menus just get pulled down for me.
It seems like there's a race condition or logic error in the event processing
code that causes the events to be interpreted as accelerator keys rather than
text entry events.
Warren -- are you using commercial or debug build? from which day? what
platform?

This is almost certainly a DUPLICATE of bug 17749. If so, it's Event Handling.

How to tell:
1. ALT-TAB to the Mozilla window, click in Location Bar,
   type "f" - the File menu appears
2. ALT-TAB away from the Mozilla Window, ALT-TAB back.
3. Press and release the ALT key.
4. Click in Location Bar, type "f" - the File menu does not appear.

If what you see matches those four steps, this must be a DUP;
if what you are seeing does not match that pattern, please
add a comment to this bug saying so, and, if possible, with
a pattern that you have found, because in that case you've
probably found a new bug.

Assuming with OS:other and Platform:PC that the reporter's OS is Win98
(bug 16029).

This is not a dup of 17749 (no alt, no tab, no switching windows) but since it
isn't happening on any Tier-1 platform using today's opt comm bits, resolving as
wfm.
