using shortcuts in web applications sometimes cause global shortcuts to activate

[Dennis Ta]

In particular, I most commonly encounter this when I am in google documents and press ctrl+s to save the document or ctrl+b to bold text, only for epiphany or firefox try to save the webpage itself.

I'm not sure if this is a quick fix (or whatnot) so someone please comment if this is an inappropriate place for this issue to be brought up.

This is particularly an issue on netbooks or for users who use many net-based applications.

Using ctrl-b and ctrl-s works in Google Documents flawlessly for me, without showing bookmarks or saving the webpage.

How can I reproduce this? Are you using Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty? And Firefox?

okay so i've been trying it, i have to click the application window otherwise it won't work in firefox, but it completely does not work in epiphany

A 'paper cut' is a minor usability flaw likely to be encountered by an average user the first day using vanilla Ubuntu 9.10. The project tries to focus on applications installed by default and, because it seems to be working for you in Firefox, I am marking this as an invalid 'paper cut'.
