1. Create a new issue
2. Spend tons of time typing and formatting the comment portion of your issue.
3. Now click (or accidentally click) Control-A
POOF
4. You are now starting at some Administrator screen. You know: Ctrl-A for Administration.. an industry accepted hot key, right? WRONG.

Ctrl-A in emacs means "start of line". Any emacs user does it without thinking.
Ctrl-A on the Mac means "start of line" because Apple hired a lot of coders that used emacs.

Did we see a confirmation popup? Something like this:

Warning, you are about to drop all your work on the floor and go to Administration.
Is this really what you want to do?  Are you nuts?
     [ Yes- throw my work on the floor  ]   |   [ No - I work for a living  ]

Now, oddly enough, this version of JIRA does not intercept and bastardize Ctrl-A. It moves the cursor to the start of the line.

Why is our version of JIRA doing this? We appear to be running:

Enterprise Edition, Version: 3.12.3-#302

Do we need to add a secret profile entry in one of the xml files? Something like this:

  <property name="hijack-control-a-just-for-fun-and-make-it-do-something-really-evil">DISABLED</property>
