[ale] Netscape weirdness

Hello everyone,

Time to tap into that 'good ole ALE support' ya'll have been
discussing. Well not really, I just want others to verify something
for me.

I am running RH6.1 and using WindowMaker 0.61. I have lot's of
shortcut keys assigned through WM and it led me to this 'discovery'.
If I open Netscape and browse a page (any page), then click (and hold
that click) on the scroll bar, then hold down ALT and then type '1'
(on the letters side of the board), netscape will open a new window!
This also has the effect of temporarily disabling ALL of the keyboard
shortcuts I have. If you do the same steps but have 2 Netscape windows
open, it acts like an 'ALT+Tab' between the two (and still disables the
shortcuts).

Is this a 'feature' or a bug? 
If a bug, then is it WM's, X's, or NS's?

Can anyone recreate this on their systems? Just for the record I have
been able to do this on the original version of NS installed with
RH6.1 as well as the latest NS RPM from RH.

Thanks,

Randy
