Confusing image keys after pressing "backspace"

Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Navigate to two separate pages in sequence. 2. Press "backspace" repeatedly, until a prompt comes up. 3. Observe the graphic that comes up in the top-middle of the screen. What is the expected behavior? A clearer image for the left key, preferably some text to explain the graphic. What went wrong? The image for me points to the backspace key on my keyboard, which considering that was the key that I pressed to bring the prompt up, seems to suggest that the hotkey I would use is ALT+Backspace, which obviously does nothing. Did this work before? No Chrome version: 52.0.2743.116 Channel: stable OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2) Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0 We all know about the removal of the backspace button to go back to a page, just searching this bug tracker reveals oh so many [0][1][2][3], this is about how confusing the alert that comes up is. The image seen resembles U+02190, which looks like "←". Now, some might instantly think that this is the left arrow key, but I am certainly not one of them. Specifically, because my backspace button looks like every single other keyboard that seems to be on google [4]. This is also exacerbated by the fact that my left key doesn't appear as an arrow, it appears as a left triangle (U+25C0, ◀) which seems to be common with the Apple keyboard, Corsair brand keyboards and some Logitech keyboards [5][6][7].

Afraid that was what I meant, yeah. Was stuck between the different choices. Basically the only issue is that like, half of all the keyboards in the UK at least seem to use a different style of keys which makes the infographics impossible to guess. |
