This is due to noautohide="true", added in bug 451300.
Flags: blocking-firefox3.1?
To fix this, we need to either fix bug 457997 or backout bug 451300.
Depends on: 457997
Isn't there a VK_ESCAPE keypress that the panel could catch (in the same handler is uses for VK_TAB and others)?
(In reply to comment #2) > Isn't there a VK_ESCAPE keypress that the panel could catch (in the same > handler is uses for VK_TAB and others)? We try that, but Ctrl+Esc is handled by Windows.
So if I'm holding down ctrl and hit escape, what did it used to do? Right now it seems to bring up the start menu which is what I expect. Does ctrl-tab no longer dissappear when you release the control key?

Yes, and at the same time, the panel should disappear. It doesn't do that because of noautohide="true". noautohide="true" also has other implications, neither of which we want. > Does ctrl-tab no > longer dissappear when you release the control key? It does.

The patch for bug 457997 seems to fix this (and removes the autohide from ctrl-tab).
