In Windows, Alt+Space key or Alt then Space key usually opens a menu for resizing the window/frame. In Safari + webkit, pressing Alt+Space key opens the resize menu but also scrolls the page down. Pressing Alt key and then space key acts the same way as IE does. Reproducible: Always Steps to reproduce: When you have focus in any area of Safari 1) pressing Alt+Space key Actual Result: The menu for resizing window opens and the page is scrolled down. Expected Result: The menu for resizing window opens without page scrolling down. 2) pressing Alt key, then Space key (the result is same as IE) Actual Result: The menu for resizing window opens without page scrolling down. Expected Result: The menu for resizing window opens without page scrolling down. tested with Safari 3.0.4 (523.12.9) Webkit r28669, Windows XP SP2

I'm not sure if this is an expected behavior for Safari+ Webkit but since it is different from other Windows applications, I'll file a bug. If this was intended, please inform me. thanks.

After r28707, Alt+Space key does not open the resize menu and just makes the page scroll down. tested with Safari 3.0.4 (523.12.9) Webkit r28707 and r28711 Windows XP SP2
