I am not sure what to make of this bug ... can you still reproduce it? If so, can you give us some STR?

yes

> If so, can you give us some STR?

1) Open the Toolbox via Tools -> Web Developer -> Toogle Tools from the menu (I'm on OSX)
2) Press the "Show in seperate window" button from the Toolbox's toolbar on the left. This pops the Toolbox into its own window
3) Press the shortcut to reload the page - if you're on OSX this is CMD+R

Expected result:

- the browser window should reload

Actual result:

- the browser window does not reload

Michael, let me know if this is precise enough. I'm happy to provide more information if needed (or ping me on IRC - I'm jviereck and hang out on the #devtools IRC channel)

This is a known limitation. We would have to add a key in the toolbox-window.xul add ourselves reload the tab that the toolbox belongs to. Just like we add the shortcut keys into the toolbox-window.xul when we switch to window host.
See _addKeysToWindow method in toolbox.js

This seems to be working in today’s nightly.
