Help! This bug is causing us grief in the editor land on Win32. Every time we hit the return or backspace keys, we get 2 keydown events. I tracked it down, and it seems to be caused by the fact that those 2 keys are both "SPECIAL_KEY" and ascii, which allows nsWindow::OnKeyDown() to dispatch the event. It then gets dispatched again from within OnChar() when the WM_CHAR event is received.

I could duplaicate where the RETURN was sending two events but not the Backspace. I fixed it, now it is only generating a KEY_DOWN event via the OnChar
