@Jan:
All those buttons that can cause data loss and are easy to click accidentaly should be removed. This is standard usability procedure, data loss should not be easy to cause by accident.

That said, in FX this is the only one I've come across, if you know of others, please tell me, so I can file bugs for thier removal.

This has nothing to do with what keyboard you use (I have a GB keyboard with AltGr) and everything to do with a bug that causes data loss.

There are indeed a number of ways to fix this bug, but removing the behaviour that causes the bug is by far the most elligant way of solving it in this situation.

If you consider the fact that there is now only one shortcut that is not easy to do on non-us keyboards a bug, you should file a bug to that effect and not try to repleal a usability bug fix. There are a number of shortcuts possible that are valid for both non-us keyboards and us keyboards that are both easy to use and won't be pressed by accident, how about using one of those?
or how about adding the shortcut AltGr+back = 'go back a page' to get identical behaviour on both us and non-us keyboards?
