83302 - Pressing backspace while typing in a flash goes back a page

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Neil Marshall]

I know this is someone trying to copy the IE backspace shortcut, but I was
trying to type into this flash and it went back in the history as soon as I hit
backspace.

This is a stupid shortcut, please don't use it, or at least detect where the
keypresses are being sent first.

Looks like a regression of bug 60102.  But the general issue of getting rid of 
that shortcut is covered by bug 69981
