Same problem here on Linux + Gnome 2.8
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050327

Also, the status bar shows : Link not found: ""

The bug looks similar to bug 72334 and bug 53505 (but on Linux, not Mac)

This bug is always present in latest trunk (I use seamonkey beta 2). Usually,
the error comes from the fact that the function used to see which keys are
pressed is XLookupKeysym which does not take modifiers into account, and
XLookupString should be used (or both).

I suspect this bug will be fixed by one of: bug 399939, bug 359638, bug 177508 etc. Can someone check it?

Oh, and BTW, I CONFIRM that Ctrl-digit does nothing on my AZERTY keyboard (where digits are obtained with Shift on from the top keyboard row).

WFM now -- I guess the problem has been fixed by some other bug (bug 429219 ?)
