Summary: space bar jumping when messaging

Initial Comment:
version: e4
os: win2k

okay, during game play (this cracks me up):

i'm messaging someone in a game (we're testing the new
e4 release :-) and i notice that i'm uncontrollably
jumping.  i scratch my head but quickly continue on
with the game (not wanting to get shot while thinking;
don't think, just shoot ;-).  then i message someone
again, and while typing spaces i jump.  "huh" i think?
 then i realize: i remapped the space bar to be jump
(like many games i've played, so it's just reflex/habit
for me).  but in the old version (i'm using the same
configuration) the space bar was only registered as a
"space" in the message window, not as a "jump" in game
play.

so essentially, in the e2 version whenever messaging,
the keyboard was disabled (in regards to game play /
tank action), but in e4 the alpha(numeric?) keys are
disabled, but not the space bar.

Yup,

In e4, tab was overriden in the message window to perform 
a jump, as it is assumed that you don't need to use tab in 
sending messages.

This was definitely intentional.
