           Summary: keydown event is fired once for every millisecond the
                    Esc key is held down
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
               URL: http://jsfiddle.net/PLtjN/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Event Handling
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: tyson at tysontate.com


Given the following JS:

    document.addEventListener("keydown", function(e) {
        console.log(e);
     });

All keys fire the "keydown" event once for every press, as expected. However, when you press the escape key, the event is fired once for every single millisecond that the escape key is held down. The "keyup" event is properly fired once.

The bug is evident in the latest nightly (r107164) as well as Safari 5.1.3.
