WFM, one day old CVS based trunk build - linux.

Reporter: can you see this with a younger nightly build ?

confirmed with linux trunk 20030425
Ctrl+W also doesn't work in textboxes.  other keyboard shortcuts seem to work fine.

==> keyboard nav

Comment 3

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

iirc, ctrl+W in textfields on unix platforms takes on the emacs binding of
deleting a word backwards --instead of closing a window/tab.

not sure why ctrl+H (while in textfield) doesn't open the history window... akkana?

ctrl-H is delete backward character.

Similarly, CTRL-N (New Window) doesn't work while in a textarea, although it
does work in a single-line text entry.  Tested in FireBird 20030731 on Linux.

Enlarging summary to make this easier to find.

This is a dupe of bug 72352 - I just dealt with a similar bug in the Firebird
product. Duping.
