[gui-talk] In IE7, Favorites list won't go away when I hit Escape, anymoref

[Don H]

On my computer control I does indeed open the favorites however it seems 
that control I won't close it.  It also seems that control shift I is listed 
as the toggle and it does seem to open and close it as it should.
