* Do not handle backspace as a window-level shortcut, as it would take
precedence over backspace events in HTML text fields. (LP: #1569938)
* Update translation template.

Title:
Backspace while an HTML text field has focus triggers a back
navigation in history
Status in Canonical System Image:
Fix Committed
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
This is a regression that was introduced by the fix for bug #1537782.
It can be observed on unity7 with a physical keyboard attached, as well as on
a touch device running unity8 with a bluetooth keyboard.
Steps to reproduce:
- browse to http://example.org
- focus the address bar and browse to http://start.ubuntu.com within the
same tab
- focus the search box on the page, type any character
- press the backspace key
Expected result: the character that was input in the search box is deleted.
Actual result: the user is taken one page back in the navigation history,
back to http://example.org.
