Overview Description: 
  Possibly this is a dup, but I couldn't find one for this specific
  defect. Thanks to jimmylee for noting this.

  Parent window menus are still accessible from the keyboard when a
  modal dialog is active (e.g. window.confirm). 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1) Bring up an alert:
    <html><body><form>
      <input type="button" name="abutton" value="confirm..." 
             onclick='alert("try to use a ctrl-f, for example");'>
    </form></body></html>
2) Type 'Alt-G B' on Linux

Actual Results:   on Linux, the menus respond (possibly crashes)
Expected Results: menus not accessible

Build Date & Platform Bug Found: 
  2000091908 Linux
   DOES NOT OCCUR ON win32/mac 20000919nn

*** Bug 62544 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
(Note from bug 62544 : control key shortcuts behave similarly, so ^L with a modal 
window up (like, say, the one you get when you hit ^L) brings up another one.)

My patch for bug # 65521 also fixes this bug. If you think the patch for 65521
is appropriate.

Did bug 65521 fix not fix this? Seems to be WFM in 1.7rc1.
This doesn't appear to be a problem anymore.  Just tried it.
