Public bug reported:
Browsers such as Firefox bind Alt-left arrow and Alt-right arrow to the
back/forward action, making it easy to traverse your browser history
using the keyboard. If you tap alt-arrow to navigate in your browser, it
is likely that the HUD will open and take focus. This is really
frustrating. The problem is timing-dependent, which makes it seem non-
deterministic to a user.
To reproduce:
1) Open any web page in a browser window or tab
2) In the same window/tab, go to another web page
3) Tap Alt-Left arrow to go back to the first page
Expected results:
The browser goes back to the first page and retains focus.
Actual results:
The browser goes back to the first page. The HUD opens and steals focus from
the browser.
