When in Linux, the scroll_lock key does not generate a keycode, whereas in
Windows (2K), scroll_lock generates keycode of 0x145.  This was tested in
Firefox 0.8.  You can test it at the URL,
http://www.sonic.net/~tchang/keycode.html .

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. surf to http://www.sonic.net/~tchang/keycode.html using Windows Firefox 0.8,
and Linux Firefox 0.8.
2. Hit the Scroll_Lock button on the keyboard and note the different results.


Actual Results:  
in Linux, the keycode returned was 0x0

Expected Results:  
return keycode of 0x145

Don's see anything in FireFox (20040419) (no code at all), but do in Mozilla
20040419.

If it's platform specific, it's a widget issue, not a DOM one...

Confirming the problem with a current GTK1 build.

Actually, your expected results are wrong.

scroll_lock should return a keycode of 0x91, not 0x145.  Converted to decimal,
0x91 is 145 which is presumably what you meant....
