Why does Javascript drop keyUp events when the metaKey is pressed on Mac browsers?

It’s simply not possible to get the onKeyUp events when meta is used, I learned today. Very unfortunate and difficult to work around. You’ll have to emulate them some other way.

Edit: To clarify, this is only on Mac and occurs due to OS level handling of the event. It cannot be overridden. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
