Description Adam Roben (:aroben) 2010-12-17 07:52:48 PST 
Classic WebKit contains code in WebView::keyDown to disallow web pages from preventing default for Alt+* keydowns. WebKit2 does not have this code. This makes it possible for web pages to, e.g., prevent Alt+F from showing the File menu.

While this bug is Windows specific, we've always had this problem on Mac, and that also needs to be fixed some day.
