The ESC key is also a problem. It should do nothing, instead a back arrow glyph is inserted into the document.
Summary: Typing behavior odd → Some keys not being mapped correctly
Changing summary to provide some useful information. The problem is that keys are not being mapped properly at a level beneath the editor in the event system, and that the workaround code in the editor is not correct.

Target Milestone: M7
tague has checked in a fix for related problems that almost certainly fix this, but I'll keep the bug to verify all the keys mentioned work correctly.
Tested this scenario with experimental build on En Win NT4.0 system in IQA lab. The scenario mentioned in this bug is fixed. The Basic Smoke test for mailnews passed too. FYI...backspace now does not work in the Addressing fields with this special build, have not noticed that in QA released builds so I will wait to log a bug for that.
