268886 - ctrl+u in the location bar does not clear the text, but instead opens page source

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 260188

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Matt Wilks]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Unix has a really nice feature of clearing a field of text when ctrl+u is
pressed.  It is handy to be able to clear the location bar with ctrl+u since you
may have something in the copy buffer that would be erased if the location bar
was cleared by selecting the entire text and using the backspace key.  This has
worked until the 1.0 release of Firefox which now assumes that ctrl+u should
open the page source.  This isn't a bug persay, but would it be possible to make
the location bar have a different action when ctrl+u is pressed?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just press ctrl+u in the location bar.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Page Source is opened.

Expected Results:  
Clear the location bar.
