296756 - ctrl-tab conflict with universal access prevents switching tabs with keyboard

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 264787

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Leon Spencer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050604 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050604 Firefox/1.0+

If Universal Access is enabled, Ctrl-tab and Shift-Ctrl-Tab toggles highlighting
the Location bar and selecting the page body rather than switching tabs. 

I recommend that the combination be dropped from Mac OS X builds, and instead
use the standard Safari controls of Cmd-Shift-Right and Cmd-Shift-Left. This
would also allow new users to adapt more quickly. While we're at it, Cmd-Left
and Cmd-Right are easy and habitual Back and Forward keyboard controls in pretty
much universal usage outside Mozilla. Keyboard *shortcuts* are for saving time,
not forcing users to make modal error after modal error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable Universal Access
2. Open some tabs in Deer Park
3. Ctrl-tab / Ctrl-Shift-tab

Actual Results:  
The text in the Location bar selected, a grey line around the viewing pane of
the browser appeared.

Expected Results:  
Selected the next tab, and then selected the previous one again.

Universal Access has nothing to do with it, Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab keyboard
shortcuts for tab switching (in the browser window) have been removed in the mac
version, see bug 264787.
