After any time that the Flash plugin has displayed content in full-screen mode, the Alt-D shortcut will no longer focus the address bar. When pressed, the computer simply beeps. This condition survives a restart of the browser and of the computer. The only way around it is to focus the control box (with Alt-Spacebar), after which Alt-D works as normal until the next time Flash is full-screened.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the Flash plugin and visit a site such as Youtube. View any content in full-screen mode.
2. Leave full-screen mode (e.g. by pressing the Escape key)
3. Press Alt-D to focus the address bar
Actual Results:  
The computer beeps.

Expected Results:  
The address bar should be focused.

This has been present since at least 2.0.
Shockwave Flash v. 10.0.22.87

I'm not sure I agree with this being marked as a duplicate of bug 78414. That bug seems to deal with Flash itself capturing keystrokes while it's active. In my experience, this bug with Alt-D persists even when the computer or browser have been completely reloaded, when no pages containing Flash are active, and when even Flash itself is disabled. Can you point me to a comment in 78414 that addresses this concern?
yeah sorry, I missed the fact that it still happens when the plugin is closed. I can reproduce this issue too.
I noticed that other browsers are not affected by this issue.

Still happening in 3.6 (Win7 [64b]). I thought I had seen an earlier ticket for this, but I can't find it (anymore).

F6 works. And alt-d will starting working again after some time, but I'm not sure yet what triggers that.
Is this still an issue ?
