When a plugin has focus cmd-` (cycle windows) no longer works until you move to a new tab/window or click non-plugin content.

0) Open two window
1) Load URL in one of them
2) Click the content area of the browser window
3) cmd-`  
Window does not switch

In a browser window with HTML and Plugin content:

0) Open two windows
1) Load http://www.apple.com/iphone/guidedtour/#medium
2) Click the Quicktime content
3) cmd-`
Window does not switch
Try http://www.ea.com/e3 and click the Flash content in the middle of the page for an example with Flash.
Confirming; this doesn't happen with 1.6.x.  Dunno why the fix for plug-ins blackholeing our keystrokes isn't working here. :(

I would guess it's because it's not a menu command. IIRC Josh had to do special hacking to get that to work at all in Firefox (even without plugins).

Is this really a Camino bug, and not a Core bug?
