I just started using Construct 3 in Firefox on Windows 10, and whenever I go into preview mode, pressing any key causes the CTRL+F-search bar to appear. This happens even when I have no events whatsoever in the entire project.

How can I fix this?

It doesn't do that for me.

If I took a wild guess, I'd say a browser extension could be causing it.

I tried again just now but in Firefox on macOS this time. Different computer, different OS, same result.

Both of the times I created new projects (tested with and without the Keyboard plugin added).

Another somewhat related issue is that both Safari and Firefox seem to lose focus when tab is pressed, as Construct doesn't seem to capture the tab key's input. This is true even when "Keyboard: Tab is down" is specified.

I would attach a GIF that shows the behavior but the forum won't allow me to upload animated images.
