Exactly, and this is a common issue with today's web. What is even worse, keyboard shortcuts are still disabled after visiting another tab or another window. It's extremely annoying when Alt-Tabbing through different tabs gets interrupted by some old tab that still steals all keyboard events. However, there is a suggested simple workaround for this, please give it priority: Bug 625806 - "Keyboard command enhancement: keep tab navigation" There is no reason to wait for a solution to the whole shortcut key handling issue before fixing the worst results like this, especially the easily-fixed ones. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263435 Title: Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
