290918 - Shift+Ctrl+R override cache but Shift+F5 does not function

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[M. LaPlante]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

Using the latest firefox build, 1.0.3.  From what I understand, two ways to
reload a page are Ctrl+R and F5.  Holding down Shift while reloading should
override the cache and redownload all elements.  Shift+Ctrl+R reloads the page
successfully for me, however Shift+F5 does nothing; the page does not reload at
all.  I've confirmed this behavior on two systems running Windows XP SP2. 
Shouldn't the Shift key behavior be the same for all reload combos?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press Shift+F5

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
Page reloads, overriding local cache.

see bug 155940.  not duping in case Firefox wants to do something different
(Shift-F5 seems to be unused)

Ctrl-F5 works, we don't need a fifth keybinding for reload.

I had a good reason why Shift-F5 was bad, aside from being unnecessary, but we
crossed that bridge a long time ago and we're not changing now, so I won't go
trolling old IRC logs to find the reasoning.
