Who stole my keyboard?

[venta]

Hmm. If I go to the BBC's US Election Map (and who hasn't, this morning?) and click on a state, my browser stops responding to keyboard shortcuts. Why would that be ? (I'm using Firefox 3)

I presume whatever cleverness is used to render the map is trapping keyboard events, but I've no idea why it would do that.

It might be - I try to avoid Flash, so may just not have noticed before.
