Public bug reported: Hi,
This is an easy one. When you install fancy numbered taps you can use Alt-Gr + number 1 to ... to shift taps. When you use Alt Gr + number x to get an ascii code character this is very anoying. I have a qwerty keyboard and sometimes use google translate to translate a French or German word I am not familiar with, or a Dutch one if I am searching for a proper translation. You can imagine the issue. You have to work around it with a text editor and then the fonts won't match, also very difficult with abiword when writing emails. The problem is that after uninstalling fancy numbered tabs, which is uneventfull, the issue just persists. It seems like it is not properly uninstalled, because you are still switching tabs. The issue is excactly the same in Windows Vista Ultimate, so it is definately a firefox add on problem. I recently reinstalled Vista, and that seems to be the only way to cure this one.
