Ctrl-W in IE and Firefox closes the active editor tab, but in Chrome, the browser tab is closed instead. It seems that Ctrl-W isn't overridden when running RAP in Chrome. I've seen the same behavior in Chrome for Windows and Linux.

It's reproducible with Workbench Demo and opened editor. I remember that Chrome has some key combinations that can't be suppressed. Tim, what do you think?

After searching the web it seems that there are some key combinations (shortcuts) that can't be suppressed (without dirty hack on the OS level). Ctrl+W in Chrome is one of them. I will close this bug as NOT_ECLIPSE. Please reopen if you disagree.
