Description

When focus in on a text input, pressing ESC on the keyboard doesn't trigger the 'keyup' event, and only takes focus away from the input.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Reproduce the problem in a text input with the Vimium extension enabled, then trace the extension's keyboard-event handling for ESC and keyup. Done means pressing ESC no longer prevents the input's keyup event while the reported focus behavior is addressed.
