Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.7-1
Severity: normal

When I have a lot of tabs open, sometimes using ctrl-w to close the active tab does not work. In this case it is almost always fixed by pressing tab
(after which ctrl-w does work)...but then the next tab may have the same
problem. I think depending on which widget is active the ctrl-w may sometimes
be ignored...the signal handler for this key isn't "high enough" in the
widget hierarchy to catch all keypresses.

Well in text fields ctrl-w tends to do other things than close the
current tab. Could that be what you're seeing?

Possibly (likely maybe).

But...

1.  What would ctrl-w do other than close the tab?

If you have emacs keybindings turned on, it deletes everything before
the cursor. Otherwise, I don't know.

There is no cursor. What happens here is that I have a text box active while editing a form, then after I submit the form the next page I get has no text box and this is when I see the bug: ctrl-w still doesn't work - in fact it does nothing visible.

So I take back what I said earlier about the text field being the cause (it may still be the cause of the bug, but there is no text field active). This is actually a bug.


Still seeing this in 1.5?

Yep. There is no text field active, yet ctrl-w does not close the tab; it does not do anything. If I click somewhere on the page and then press ctrl-w, it works.
