61444 - CTRL-N does not function when cursor in form textarea

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55408

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Brian Z]

If your cursor is in a textarea (such as the description field of this bug form)
and you press CTRL-N, the function is not carried out.  The hotkey does work in
input fields like the summary field though.  Thanks!

I believe this is a feature.  Mozilla attempts to mimic some common emacs
keybindings in input fields and textareas.  C-n goes to the next line in a
textarea.  This is somewhat meaningless in an input field, so the "open a new
browser window" function is executed instead.

dup of 55408 "Switch default Unix modifier key back to ALT"

(by way of bug 55652 "Ctrl-n doesn't open new window if a text-entry box has
cursor")

See discussion in bug 55408.
