Comment (by hitech):

 The issue still exists in Beta2. WebPositive Just crashed me into KDL, the
 keymap I had there was Russian. I verified it by typing punctuation
 characters that are located on different keys in US_International and
 Russian keymaps; Shift+2 produced quotemark (suits Russian keymap) and not
 "@" sign (as in US_International). Shift+7 produced question mark "?"
 instead of the ampersand "&".

 In short, the WebPositive was in Russian, it crashed into KDL, and the KDL
 still had Russian keymap, rendering the KDL prompt unusable.

 I just thought that I'm using custom (not system-provided) Russian and
 US_International keymaps. Does it matter?
