User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050221
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050221

prior mozilla including with mozilla 1.73 when cursor was in address field,
control+u behaved like on standard unix system deletes whole row left from the
cursor. Now this is assigned to view sources in mozilla 1.75.

I do not know why this behaviour was changed at all ?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.plase cursorr in address bar to the end of address
2.press ctrl+u


Actual Results:  
view sources windows pops out

Expected Results:  
erase all caracters left from the cursor

This breaks a major shourcut that is used in unix for ages,
so I am giving this Major feature is broken,
that could be easy fixed :)
