You don't sound like you want to have it explained, though.

Provided that this is not surprising to the user and can be easily undone, I
really don't see any problem with this. The fact that it can interrupt you
e.g. when entering text, however, is annoying indeed. So let's try to
separate the bug from the feature: How and why exactly does it disturb you?
Maybe if triggering the accesskey would be restricted to certain sensible
special cases?

I'm just surprised that - once again - topics are rolled up again that have
been discussed long ago. At that time, nobody complained.

Right. Nobody notices, so the contributors assume it's ok. Changing the
default back to the old behaviour after the second next major release is not
a solution IMHO but actually imposes a new problem on those who have already
adapted. Let's not forget about them.
