Chrome userscript, which modifies tab key, stopped working

Question

I have a simple chrome userscript which modifies the tab key for a particular webpage. This worked fine until chrome v27 came. This is the code:

script.js:

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Name
// @namespace      http://www.someNameSpace.com/
// @description    Description
// @include        http://weburl1.com/*
// @include        http://weburl2.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

function key_event(event){
    if(event.keyCode == 9){    //get tab pressed 
         /* do something here */
    }
}
document.addEventListener("keydown", key_event, true);

manifest.json:

{
   "content_scripts": [ {
      "all_frames" : true,
      "exclude_globs": [  ],
      "include_globs": [ "http://weburl1.com/*", "http://weburl2.com/*" ],
      "js": [ "script.js" ],
      "matches": [ "http://*/*", "https://*/*" ],
      "run_at": "document_idle"
   } ],
   "converted_from_user_script": true,
   "description": "Description",
   "key": "kVJUyHgHhlZtX2koEeV1ZF7yYHXfLyCyprC+I18+QzI=",
   "name": "Name",
   "version": "1.01"
}

Edit: i turns out that the script is still running but only on initally loaded frames. So i added

"all_frames" : true,

to the manifest which did not work.

Is there anything i can do about it? Thanks for your help

With Chrome version 27.0.1453.110 the script is working again. See also https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=242890
