New issue 5716 by tag.carpenter: Control Keys in webmail editor don't work  
(e.g., Tab, Ctrl+B for bold, Ctrl+I [iye] for Italic)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5716

Chrome Version       : 1.0.154.36
URLs (if applicable) :  any webmail using "SmarterMail Enterprise 4.3", or
pretty much any WIKI or other site supporting control character macros.
Other browsers tested: IE
   IE 6: OK
   IE 7: OK
What steps will reproduce the problem?
   1. Raise Compose New Message
   2. Enter some text in the message body
   3. Select (highlight) a word or phrase in the message body
   4. Hold Control key and press "B" key
EXPECTED: The selected text will become bold.
DEFECT: The control keystroke is ignored.
NOTE ALSO: The [B] Icon on the tool bar is in fact selcted, however, it
appears that the expected "click" event does not occur.

Note also: The TAB key does not behave as expected; instead of inserting a
an actual tab or a series of spaces, a line break is inserted and the new
whitespace is selected.  TAB is dropped in this "chromium/issues/entry"
compose control as well!

...Since I just tried "Ctrl + U" and was treated to a new "View Source"
window, I can only presume that all low-ASCII strokes are commandeered by
the framework.

SUGGESTION: Make the custom control character behavior a "developer mode
option" and turn it off by default.
