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! -Mike
