110715 - "find in page" dialog doesn't grab keyboard focus

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 96843

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Yuri]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010914
BuildID:    2001092020

If I open the "find in page" dialog by pressing CTRL-F or selecting 
'Search->Find in Page', I then have to click on the dialog before I can type
text into the "Find Text:" text field. Using ALT-TAB to switch to the dialog
doesn't work either.

(I also find the use (in text fields) of CTRL-f for fwd, CTRL-b for back, CTRL-d
for del etc. very annoying -- can these be turned off?)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Press CTRL-F
2.Try to type something.

Actual Results: 
1. Brings up the "Find on this Page" window
2. Just sits there with whatever text it had in it when it popped up.

Expected Results:  
1. Bring up the "Find on this Page" window
2. Enter the text in the "Find text:" text field

(Running Mandrake 8.1)
NB: I would rate this as Minor, as you can simply click on the dialog window and
all's well, but if the mouse were not present/functioning, it would result in
not being able to use search at all.
