Wonky Alt+Tab Behavior
I use Alt+R as the keyboard shortcut for readability-redux. (don't remember what the default was). The extension gets inadvertently activated, replicated thus in Chrome 7.0.517.17 dev on Windows Vista x86_32:
- Use Alt+Tab to navigate to a chrome window.
- With focus anywhere on the page (other than Omnibar, Nav/Extension bar or Bookmarks Toolbar), hit just "R" (not assigned Alt+R shortcut) on keyboard.
- The readability script is triggered, causing a page refresh. Obviously, this is especially painful while typing something in a textbox (which is lost) or on a login session.
I was able to reproduce this behavior with a bunch of Alt+

Same problem here, except I'm using Google Chrome 10 on Ubuntu GNU/Linux.
There seems to be no interaction with Alt+TAB, rather with text input fields
featuring autocompletion (e.g., the "new issue" page on a
googlecode.com project): I have the readability redux shortcut on
Alt+A but the readability script is triggered by pressing just A
.
