254633 - <label for=> accesskey overrides menu accelerator key

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 128452

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Glen Gibb]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040806 Firefox/0.9.1+

If a <label for="..." accesskey="..."> access key conflicts with the accelerator
key for a menu then the accesskey takes precedence.

I would expect that the Menu accelerator keys should always have precedence over
shortcut keys defined in a page.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100000
2. Press Alt-T.

Actual Results:  
The Target Milestone drop-down box is selected.

Expected Results:  
The Tools menu is selected.

The problem can be worked around by pressing and releasing Alt activate the menu
bar and then pressing the desired accelerator key.

Dupe of Suite bug. Workaround is to redefine your key bindings in user.js, eg:
pref("ui.key.accelKey", 17);
pref("ui.key.generalAccessKey", 224);
pref("ui.key.menuAccessKey", 18);
