Definitely a regression of some sort but getting a little old; I have a build
from 20030720 that displays this bug whilst one from 20030504 does not (Alt+D
still works). If this was removed deliberately I can't find it in bonsai.
Firebird Help still lists this as a viable shortcut as well.

Can someone check this in Windows please?

WFM in WinXP 20030805.  Presumably a Linux-only regression.

That's it. Another one. That does it. Time for a tracking bug for these Alt
regressions in Linux.

This works perfectly in FF 0.8 under Linux. So I guess the bug got fixed
somewhere along the way
