> What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
http://reviewboard.eng.vmware.com/r/3889/diff/#index_header

> What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. add a comment and save it.
2. highlight part of the comment -- it will not switch to edit mode until a
keystroke.
3. hit backspace.

> What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I intend for it to intercept the backspace and not allow the browser to use
the back button but to instead enter the edit mode on the comment and
delete the highlighted section.  Instead I see it got back to the previous
page, and when I navigate forward to return to the page a large number of
my comments appear to be missing.  They aren't really missing but the ticks
on the line numbers are not visible.  Thus, it appears like you have lost
all your recent edits, even though you haven't really.  

> What operating system are you using? What browser?

Windows XP2, sp2, Firefox 2.0.0.7.

I don't think you'll see this behavior in the UI rewrite. At least not the backspace
issue while editing a comment.

This should now be fixed in r1644.
