 using Ctrl+Page Up/Down (Iceweasel)

Package: debian-timeline
Version: 17
Severity: minor

The timeline uses the Page Up and Page Down keys in a more or less 
intuitive way. By pressing Page Up, the timeline goes forward a certain 
time, and when pressing Page Down, the timeline goes backward a certain 
time. What is a little tricky, though presumably useful, is that the 
duration of this time is variable. For the keys to be processed, the 
timeline needs to have focus (which is not the case just after loading 
the page). But the focus can be in one of the three zones (different 
levels of zoom). If the focus is in the bottom zone, the duration of 
time skipped is larger (and very large). If the focus is in the top 
zone, the line moves by about one year and a half.

However, the implementation of this feature causes a bug, at least in 
Iceweasel. Iceweasel has keyboard shortcuts allowing to switch tabs with 
Ctrl+Page Up and Ctrl+Page Down. When the user is viewing a tab right 
after the timeline's tabs, he may come back to the timeline by pressing 
Ctrl+Page Down. But when doing this as the timeline has focus, the 
timeline catches the press on Page Down as a request to go backwards in 
time and moves the timeline. So when the user switches tabs using these 
shortcuts, he comes back to a timeline that does not show the events he 
was looking at before he left the timeline's tab (unfortunately, this 
problem is not symmetrical, i.e. nothing happens when the tab is left).

This must have to do with the way the timeline checks key events. I 
imagine it should only act when a key is pushed, not just when it's 
maintained pressed.
