From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla on Windows95
BuildID:    2000101014

Using the windows tool WXKBD (see http://www.szp-software.com/) to replay 
keystrokes causes Mozilla to open new windows; start help; open the print 
dialog; and sometimes to crash.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install WXKBD
2.program a key (e.g. CTRL-Q) with a string (e.g. "hello")
3.hit your key in a form field or in the browser location field

Actual Results:  Open File dialog opens
Open Location dialog opens (twice)
History Pane opens
Composer opens

Expected Results:  Entered the text "hello" into the location field.

All other windows apps I've tried work as expected with the keyboard macro 
utility, including Netscape 4.75.

Are you doing something non-standard in your Windows keyboard-handling? Or are 
you obeying the rules but WXKBD isn't?

Marking WORKSFORME due to lack of response and the fact that the build the
