Hi,
When I use the Alt button on my keyboard, plus number to write ASCII character,
on editor for bulletin board (forum)  my browser Firefox (1.5 beta) get me out
and shoot me back.

It's same on my other computer running under WinXp

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Could you please describe what you mean by "get me out and shoot me back". This
is going to be INVALID unless we have detailed steps to reproduce and understand
the problem.

I guess he meant that alt+4 (which is alt+left) causes the browser to go back.
The Alt+numpad combinations are used to type non-ASCII characters.
