package: iceweasel version: 10.0.12esr-1 When this happens the only way I can control the browser is via the mouse which is excruciatingly slow.
Why this happens I have no idea. The reason I'm filing a bug report here and not with Mozilla is that I did not have this problem when using Iceweasel 10 ESR in sid a year ago nor was this in any way a problem when I was using it with Fedora. I am not sure what is the exact cause of this bug. If I had more time I would have investigated further to provide better information to help you guys. For now however I only leave you with an example site that I sometimes read http://www.alternet.org/ Also for what it worth my guess is that somehow the web application running on these sites or perhaps gnash itself grabs keystrokes and does not forward them to the browser. Sometimes when I press Escape I regain control and can use keybindings so I think that there is a chance my theory holds some water. Nonetheless this wasn't a problem with other Firefox 10 ESR that I used in other distros or hell even in sid. Furthermore having no easy way to know what exactly is in focus/grabbing keystrokes I have no idea if pressing Escape will get me control back or stop the page as it's loading meaning that's really not that great a workaround. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
