Comment #30 on issue 25756 by Jens.Alfke: Some Keyboard Shortcuts (Cmd-L) don't work when flash plugins eat them http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=25756
Even standard app-global commands like Cmd-Q and Cmd-W don't work when a plugin has focus. This is directly contrary to Mac UI guidelines (and common sense.) This annoys me many times a day. The menu bar takes precedence over the focused UI component when handling command keys. pkasting: "If other browsers on an OS are our measure for "what users expect", we'll solve this differently on Mac and Windows. That makes no sense, since this problem has no relation to OSes." That's a cross-platform fallacy. A typical user uses different apps on one OS much more often than s/he uses the same app on different OS's. So when there's a conflict, it is more important to fit in with the conventions of the OS than with the way the app works on another OS. Lack of attention to this has been a serious complaint about Mac ports in the past (MS Word 6 is the standard horror story.) -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
