I've added screenshots of test parameters. Same action appears in IE7.
I've checked it again. Right Alt + s produce save action but Left Alt + s - don't (in both browsers).
I've asked my friend to test it in linux. Test parameters also added as screenshot. There's no problem there - Right Alt + s produce correct letter.
Maybe it's something with Windows keyobard settings (my setting is Polish (programmer))?

Huh - It was impossible to show test parameters in fck in standard way. Popup view attached.
Test was opensuse 10.2, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); pl-PL; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20061023 SUSE/2.0.0.1-0.1 Firefox/2.0.0.2pre

| Summary: | ALT + S works like only CTRL + ALT + S should → <Right ALT> + <S> works like <CTRL> + <ALT> + <S> |
I've made a deeper investigation about this issue.
The fact is that the <Right Alt> key, in some keyboard layouts (like Polish), is defined as the <AltGr> key, which is equivalent to <Ctrl> + <Alt> on Windows OSs.
From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key#Function):
"On those keyboard layouts having a defined AltGr key, it is equivalent to holding down the Ctrl and Alt keys together ..."
Some notes regarding the Polish keyboard may also be found there:

The following PDF has also more info at its page 10:

So, this is something out of our control. A fix for it would be quite simple tough. You just need to remove, or change, the following keystroke combination in the fckconfig.js file:
[ CTRL + ALT + 83 /*S*/, 'Save' ],
Based on the above research, we'll are changing the default combination to CTRL + SHIFT + S.
Fixed with [171].

I'm not able to reproduce it with FF2. It seams to be a Netscape related issue (not confirmed yet).
