This is still an issue on: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9b1) Gecko/2007110903 Firefox/3.0b1 And there's nobody out there who can even confirm this?
This behavior only occurs when you use the javascript alert function to display the status. The keydown/keyup event itself is fired correctly. The following page uses a differend method to display the status and it works fine there: http://unixpapa.com/js/testkey.html
