Was a bug ever filed for this? I have encountered a very similar bug under
both Windows IE and Firefox. I believe there is a systemic problem here with
QooxDoo keyboard event handling, and have spent about 10 hours debugging to
no avail. All I can say so far is that when you drag-select text in a text
field, the keypress events can get redirected to bizarre places (e.g., the
page root) as a consequence -- and the exact same behavior occurs in IE as
in Firefox.

Before I invest the time to make a reproducer, what is the current status of
this issue?
