Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

Test case:

<html>
    <head>
        <script language="javascript">
document.onkeydown = function( evt ) {
    if ( evt.keyCode == 65 ) { // "A" key
        alert( "evt.ctrlKey = " + evt.ctrlKey );
        alert( "evt.shiftKey = " + evt.shiftKey );
    }
}
        </script>
    </head>
    <body></body>
</html>

Firefox 1.0.3 on Windows: The following keystrokes work: A, Ctrl+A, Shift+A 
and Ctrl+Shift+A

Firefox 1.0.3 on Linux: The following keystrokes work: A, Ctrl+A and Shift+A

Problem: Firefox 1.0.3 on Linux: A Ctrl+Shift+<any key> keystroke cannot be 
caught in the onkeydown handler. It can be caught in the onkeyup handler 
though...

No this is not a dupe of that.

Does it happen with 1.5 beta as well?

Mozilla 1.7 is obsolete now. Anyone seeing this on a current build (and which one)?
