This works for me running with fedora 17 on the client on Firefox 15.  What 
browser/client platform are you running?

Hi, what I mean is, when I want change to visual mode(from insert mode) in vim, 
then hit the "ESC" key, the cursor will out focus of the browser(chromium).

Now, I found a workaround to this issue, use "Ctrl-[" key change to visual mode 
in vim.

Thank you.
