Ok, Carsten Pfeiffer and me worked on this at IRC.

The problem seems to be a fall back in a switch statement.
The attached patch "fixes" this, but it seems to break other
things: While trying to attach the patch to this mail, netscape's
file dialog is not closed after selecting the file.
The same happens by substituting the break; line for an
if (mapped) return TRUE;

Please Matthias (Ettrich) comment on it asap.

(I won't read any mail until tuesday 18:00 so don't expect a fast answer
from me. Sorry)

Greetings,
