579539 - alt-N shortcut (for switching tabs) does something very strange

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 579814

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, defect)

Description

[Marien Zwart]

Hitting alt+N normally switches to the Nth tab on the tab bar. When using TabCandy these shortcuts switch to the Nth tab in a different tab group than the currently visible one (hitting alt+1 repeatedly seems to cycle through the first tab in all tab groups, etcetera). I am assuming this behavior is not intentional. If it is it is very hard to understand, and should at least only switch tab groups if the Nth tab in the current tab group is not already selected.

Thanks for filling this bug! I've marked it as a duplicate of the more generic bug which covers all keyboard tab navigation.
