[Laszlo-dev] UPDATED For Review: Change 20090203-hqm-r, Summary: Fix for missing key up events in swf runtime

[André Bargull]

That's exactly the same problem which was described in [1]. It works as 
expected with WinXP + Firefox/Safari/Opera, it's just the ActiveX Player 
which is broken.
Max and Tucker found a couple of related flash player bugs [2]. So it's 
a known Adobe issue and therefore LPP-7678 was resolved as "Not Laszlo".
