User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
In the "Page Bookmarked" & "Edit This Bookmark" dialogs, attempting to enter an Alt code (e.g. Alt+175 and Alt+0133) inexplicably closes the dialog box. Note: The dialog box does /not/ disappear until I press the first /number/ while holding down the Alt key. Additionally, if the focus is in a text field (including chrome, such as the Location bar) when I click the bookmark star, the focus is returned and the character is entered /there/ after the dialog closes.
BTW: I always have Num Lock on -- and I had no problems entering Alt Codes in bookmark names in prior editions of Fx.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click the Bookmark star in the Location bar.
2. Click the star again to edit.
3. Enter an Alt code in one of the fields.
Actual Results:
Bookmark dialog disappears.
Expected Results:
The desired special character should display and the dialog box should not close until I click "Done" or "Enter."

The Alt key seems to trigger the file menu(s) which could cause a problem. Why do we even have those anyways?
Confirmed in Firefox Nightly:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1a1pre) Gecko/2008063003 Minefield/3.1a1pre
Thanks for reporting this bug!

Still broken in Firefox 4.0, as well as the latest nightly with a clean profile.

OK, I can reproduce if blocknum is enabled, not otherwise.
