Comment 110 for bug 60995

A more apt analogy would be changing the gearbox so that shifting into reverse is the *same* as shifting into first, because as we know, shifting into reverse while driving forward can cause some major "data loss". Then putting the actual reverse control not on the steering wheel (where it might even be somewhat convenient), but rather on a separate lever in the passenger glove box that you really have to reach for.

Sadly, yesterday was the ONE YEAR anniversary of this bug existing, and being unresolved (at least to our satisfaction), and I don't see Ubuntu or Mozilla developers eager to fix it at all. The Mozilla bug was reported in Feb 2006 and still nothing. Mozilla changed my original bug on reversing this, to "On Linux, backspace should do NOTHING", which was really irritating seeing as that is not what I wanted at all. I very much agree with you that this makes no sense, and I will not accept it until they also change the default behaviour on Windows and Macintosh platforms.
