           Summary: Using shift in gmail acts as tab
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 526+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P5
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: cyberdeth at gmail.com


MacOS X.5 on a MacBook Pro Core Duo, 2.16Ghz, 2GB Ram.

When going to gmail.com, and composing a mail, when in the textarea, when the
left/right shift key is pressed, it acts as a tab and moves the cursor to the
address field.

After a bit or debuggin, I found the offending code in :
./WebCore/platform/mac/KeyEventMac.mm on line 780

When commenting out the offending line as such :

        case 56: // Left Shift
        case 60: // Right Shift
            //return ([event modifierFlags] & NSShiftKeyMask) == 0;

the problem is rectified. However, this is untested on other platforms/OS'.

Thanks
