It's 2am and I can't find the proper component for this.  Also probably 
the reason that I couldn't find this already in bugzilla.  Someone please 
re-assign to the proper component or declare this a dupe.  Thanks...

Steps:

1. Copy some text into the clipboard.
2. Put focus on the Location field.
3. Press Alt+V (V while still holding down Alt).

Expected Results: View menu pops down

Actual Results: copied text is pasted into the location field

This isn't specific to the location field, it happens in any text field (eg. the 
fields on this bug report form).

Looks like somebody made a mistake between the keyboard shortcuts.  ALT+V 
should activate the view menu and CTL+V should paste the text.
Forgot to mention that Ctrl+V will paste as well.  Either it's a duplicate 
shortcut or something deeper.
Talked to hyatt, and we have a handle on this.  There was a change made to the
xbl event listener that got the wrong key modifier.  The fix is straightforward
and I'll be doing it.
