Bug-org 335508 has been marked as worksforme, but I can still reproduce. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open above URL. 2. Input any characters on "Additional Comments". 3. Hit escape key twice. Actual result: Characters you input are still there. Expected result: Characters are cleared. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20081228 Minefield/3.2a1pre
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20081226 Minefield/3.2a1pre Yes, only ctrl+z undoes the action. 2x escape does nothing here.
IMO, this feature was more annoying (accidental dataloss) than useful (press esc twice instead of Cmd+A to clear). See bug 305272, for example.

Yes, this is in contrast with almost every editor application that I can think of (even Vim!). -> WONTFIX.
