Numeric access keys on HTML elements don't work.  For example, in <http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/accesskey.html>, Alt+Shift+1 should take you to <http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/index.html>, but it does nothing.  The problem seems with this code:

<http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/content/events/src/nsEventStateManager.cpp&rev=1.728&mark=1411-1412#1405>

The above code attempts to match the accesskey attribute against aKey, which is "!" when Alt+Shift+1 is pressed, and this comparison fails.

This seems to be a regression from bug 143065.  Therefore, I'm requesting blocking1.9.

WORKSFORME. Dupe of bug 359638?

OK, on further investigation, this was caused by a patch in bug 414130 (attachment 300143 [details] [diff] [review]) which I was testing.  I'll add the appropriate notes to that bug.  We can close this one as WORKSFORME.  Sorry for the bug spam.
