48286 - Slowed reaction to 'Enter' and 'Esc' key events for dialogs

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[Max Nokhrin]

Any time I get an error dialog or a question dialog, or want to stop the browser 
from loading a webpage, or navigate through the 'Preferences' box, I prefer to 
use the 'Enter' or the 'Esc' keys instead of clicking the mouse on 'OK' or 
'Cancel'. In Mozilla M17, it takes anywhere from 3 to 6 seconds to receive the 
command. Sometimes, even mouse clicks on 'OK' or 'Cancel' take 5 seconds to 
process. This slows down the speed of 'surfing, and annoys the user. Sometimes, 
I can never be sure if the command was received, or at least send until 10 
seconds pass. 10 seconds is too long, and a user with little patience will keep 
on clicking, which causes the browser to gets. (This is a bug on it's own!).
