This bug with Flash captures Alt-D and prevents me from getting to the address bar. It captures Ctrl-T and prevents me from opening a new tab. Actually, it captures ALL keyboard combinations that I have tried. ALL Alt- combos, ALL Ctrl- combos, ALL Ctrl-Alt- combos, ALL Ctrl-Shft- combos, ALL Alt-Shft- combos, and literally every key combination I have tried. Only ONE key will get me out: Alt, by itself.

By comparison, Internet Explorer 8 works just fine. Alt-D takes me to the address bar. Ctrl-T opens up a new tab.

I know I will be scolded for saying this, but it's been 3196 days (8.76 years) since the bug was submitted, during which time Flash has thoroughly permeated the internet. The issue has only gotten worse over time. Will this bug be corrected? I just upgraded to FF 3.6 and see no improvement at all.
