525835 - Pressing Shift+Enter when the location bar has focus can trigger unwanted page saving

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Prognathous]

To reproduce:

1. Press Alt+D to focus the location bar
2. Press Shift+Enter

Result: The Page Save-As dialog opens

I frequently encounter this problem when I want to refresh a page without re-sending data. My intention is to focus the location bar and press Enter to reload the page, but on some keyboards (especially my laptop's) the *right Shift* button gets pressed inadvertently, making the Save As dialog pop up.

Even worse, sometimes the Save As dialog takes time to open and it feels as if the key press didn't register. In these cases I press Enter again, only to find that a split second earlier the dialog did open. Result: The page gets saved (actual flow is: Alt+D -> right Shift + Enter -> Enter.)

Since I actually use Shift+Enter occasionally to save pages, I don't want this feature removed. I do, however, think that it should only work with the *left Shift* button. This would retain the shortcut and prevent it from being triggered accidentally.

It's not a bug, it's a feature. In other words: this behaviour is by design.

Please read the whole report, not just the steps to reproduce. You missed a few key details.
