User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 (This bug report assumes a US English keyboard layout. The same bug applies to other keyboard layouts, but may involve different characters.) In Firefox 1.5 it was possible to access elements with accesskey='[' by pressing Alt+[, and elements with accesskey='{' by pressing Alt+Shift+[ (which is Alt+{). In Firefox 2.0, with ui.key.contentAccess set to 4 (which is NOT the default), I expect the behaviour to be equivalent to Firefox 1.5's. However, Alt+{ no longer works (and nor does Alt+}, Alt+:, Alt+<, etc.etc.etc., i.e. all the keys that require Shift). Reproducible: Always Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: Element should be focused just like in Firefox 1.5.
Depending on how bug 357101 is fixed, this might no longer be directly supported - in this case, a fix to bug 303192 will however ensure that those accesskeys can still be invoked through a menu. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 357101 ***
