[Bug 247571] Re: Text boxes with active autocomplete drop down swallows multimedia keyboard controls

[Rune Juhl Jacobsen]

I'm pretty sure that this isn't a problem with Firefox, but a problem
with Gnome instead, as multimedia key presses are also swallowed
whenever you have an open menu, no matter if it is inside an application
(File, Edit, View menus and so on), or the start menu or a right click
menu.

Reproducibility: always
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a media player.
2. Play a track.
3. Open a menu of any sort.
4. Try any media control button, such as pause or volume up/down.
Expected: The track pauses/changes volume.
Actual: Nothing, the button has no effect.

I'd be tempted to say that this bug is yet another duplicate of bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/10905 .
A lot of duplicates have been reported, ie. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/243584 which has a description that matches this one a bit better.

Does anyone have any insight on this?
