Trying to close a tab with Ctrl+W kicked me off-line.
The File menu gives two functions for Ctrl-W.
Which should it be?

(Possibly related to #270614)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a tab while on-line
2. Close the tab using Ctrl-W
3. You're now off-line.
4. Check the File menu to see why.
Accesskeys and Shortcut Keys aren`t the same thing. People use Ctrl+W all the
time without being thrown offline, are you sure about that?

Accesskeys (W in Work Offline) make menus accessible, while shortcut keys
provide a shortcut independantly of the menu (Ctrl+W).
Invalid per reporter's email. Thanks, Paul.
