Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.1+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

The C-S-w key binding to close a window has no effect in iceweasel. It does
work from the command line, though.

I don't know if this worked in firefox 1.5.x or earlier because C-w used to
close the window with a single tab, so I never tried this before.

Sorry, I meant selecting the command from the menu, which works.

Is there any more debugging I can offer? It's definitely broken here.

C-S-w still has no effect after the contents have been cleared. I enabled the
Always Show Tabs feature to reproduce the bug, of course.

Curiouser and curiouser...

I always rebind CapsLock to be another Control key. If I do C-S-w using
either true Control key, it works. But if I use the CapsLock key that
has been reassigned to Control in X, C-S-w fails to work.

The following output from xmodmap shows that the key is correctly
reassigned, and below that is output from xev showing the CapsLock and
true Control key being pressed and both should activate Control behavior

I've never seen another program ignore xmodmap-level changes, so
iceweasel/firefox is clearly doing something dodgy.
