Communication Problem pressing Escape Key with Firefox 7

[ivanopagano]

If the ContextHelp is not in follow focus mode and the help bubble is displayed, typing the "Esc" key crashes the App with a

Communication Problem

and error message: Invalid status code 0 (server down?)

The issue seems to occur only on Firefox
my current version is 7.0.1

Running on a Windows XP platform

Hi,

This is a problem with Firefox, where it cancels any active request whenever the escape key is pressed :(
This also happens with plain Vaadin (or any other ajaxy framework for that matter) whenever a request is active and the user presses the ESC key.

I'm going to have to think about if I would be able to work around this in my add-on or if it has to be fixed in Vaadin.

Thanks, keep me up to date.
