I can duplicate this problem. If you use the D key each second press the
key appears to do nothing. Not tried it with IE7 yet, but it definitely
is there in Firefox. Also, the D key, like you said, doesn't function
like it should; instead it moves from element to element when in fact it
should move to the next different element.
