464981 - key tags no longer handle bindings like Accel-Shift-7 on US kbds (Mac & WIndows)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 433907

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Eric Promislow]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4

With Moz 1.8, I could bind a command to Shift-Ctrl-7
with this key:

<key id="key_7"
       key="7" modifiers="shift accel"
       command="cmd_clicker01" />

With Moz 1.9, this no longer works, and
I need to specify it like so: 

  <key id="key_7"
       key="&amp;" modifiers="shift accel"
       command="cmd_clicker01" />

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Load the attached XUL file and press Shift-Ctrl-B to verify
it works.  Now clear the text field, and press Shift-Ctrl-7.
Nothing happens.  Change the "7" to "&amp;" in the XUL code,
reload, and try Shift-Ctrl-7 again.  Works.

This assumes a keyboard layout where "&" is on the same key as
"7", only shifted.



I think this is intentional -- while it makes sense to have
two commands for Shift-Ctrl-B and Ctrl-B, it makes less sense
for keys that don't have unshifted and shifted forms.

I'm trying to determine whether I've run into a bug in 1.9,
and the 1.8 way is correct, or there was a bug in 1.8 that
is fixed here.  I prefer the 1.9 form, trying to verify that
it's correct.  If so, I'll add it to

Looks like these are some bugs that have changed the behavior recently: bug 287179, bug 351310, bug 359638

Ah, this is dup of bug 433907.
