 Just tried to enter some extended characters into textarea using numeric
 keyboard as Windows allows it: pressing left Alt and typing char code,
 like: Alt-0151 enters m-dash, Alt-0171 for left double arrow quote,
 Alt-0187 for right quote, etc. No character appeared. But typing into
 location field does actually work, and I can type those chars in there and
 paste them into text fields and textareas in pages opened in TB.
 Is this an intentional measure or a bug? Found two tickets possibly
 related to this: #16678, #15646.

 OS: Windows 8
 Tor Browser: 5.5.4
