I don't know about Chrome nor Opera, but IE has never had this issue. Plugin interaction and other controls (tabs, browser shortcuts, ...) have been working nicely even in IE6! Safari 4 doesn't seem to suffer from that either. PS: I know this doesn't help. Please someone implement the key-ignoring scheme as told in comments 424, 425 and/or 435 for Firefox 4. This will already be a workaround good enough for the vast majority of the use cases. PPS: If adding a few if statements in the key handling in the NSPlugin controller is difficult enough to require an architectural change, well... Too bad! Cheers S.
