Shift-Esc to open Task Manager is not working in certain websites (again)

Reported by mimk...@gmail.com, Jul 11 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to page https://goo.gl/kAUzNS 
2. Press Shift + Esc

What is the expected behavior?
Task Manager should appear

What went wrong?
Task Manager does not appear.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.115  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

This works on various websites, and works not on different ones. E.g. here on chromiumbugs task manager appears after pressing the shortcut. Or it works on pcworld.com. But it does not work on different ones. E.g. on Google.com or Trello.com

Able to reproduce the issue on latest Chrome Stable i.e., 59.0.3071.115 on Windows 7,10.

I see similar behavior on latest Chrome Beta(60.0.3112.50), Dev(61.0.3141.7) and Canary(61.0.3154.0).

Note : In my case it doesn't work on any webpage.

Able to reproduce the issue on Windows 7,10 & Linux Ubuntu 14.04 using latest stable#59.0.3071.115 &Canary#61.0.3154.4.

No task manager appeared upon clicking Shift+Esc for the below URL's
1. https://goo.gl/kAUzNS 
2. Google.com

This is non regression issue observed from M45 builds,keeping it as Untriaged to get more inputs from dev.

Please find the attached screencast for reference.

Note:Task manager appeared for the Trello.com, https://www.youtube.com/, https://www.yahoo.com and other webpages.

Thanks..!!

This is not a regression. If the website chooses to handle Shift+Esc somehow, it can, and the accelerator will be consumed by the webcontents. That's why on Chrome OS, we deprecated Shift+Esc and replaced by Search+Esc, since accelerators with the Search key as a modifier cannot be stolen by anything else but the OS.

I'm tempted to mark this as a WontFix, but I will delegate this to pkasting@ to decide if Chrome browser should do something as we did on Chrome OS, i.e. to use a shortcut that cannot be stolen by apps, webcontents, ... etc.

Unfortunately I don't think there's any cure we can do here that's not worse than the disease.
