Arrow Keys Cause Loss of Extension Reviews

While typing in a review of an extension, if the user presses and
arrow key (ie Left or Right), the extension page (including the review
section) is pushed aside and replaced by another extension. If you
then push the opposing arrow key to bring it back, you'll find that
everything that had been typed in the text field is gone.
This is INCREDIBLY aggravating and frustrating. It is /very/
difficulty to overcome the automatic behavior of using the arrow keys
to navigate in a text field to make changes. It is not always feasible
(and pretty rare in general while typing) to use the mouse to move the
caret, so this MUST be fixed. It is not unusual for a user to repeat
the mistake of pressing an arrow key and losing their review several
times.
A practical way to fix this is to have the keyboard hook that
processes the left/right arrow keys detect if a text box has focus and
do nothing if it is.

Sounds like a simple bug, you can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue at new.crbug.com.
Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.
If you do create one, post the link to it here.
Thank you.

But it’s not a browser bug, it’s a website bug. Do bugs in the
webstore’s code go on CRBug as well? I thought it was specifically for
the browser.

Thanks, I've thrown this into the proper queue.

And as PhistucK noted, http://new.crbug.com/ should be your first stop for anything and everything Chrome-related. :)
