186959 - Security confirmation dialog box buttons do not have focus when dialogs appear for easy acknowledgement/dismissal.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 172691

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Gene]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

I always leave on the security dialog boxes that come up to tell you that you're
going to a secure page or leaving a secure page, because I want to be aware of
these transitions.  In Mozilla, when these security dialogs pop up, you have to
click the OK button with the mouse, you can't smack Enter to breeze past these
as you could in previous Netscape versions, and in IE.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. With security notification for arriving/leaving secure pages turned on, go to
any secure page.
2. When dialog box appears to warn you that you are going to (or leaving) a
secure page, the OK button to acknowledge/dismiss the dialog does not have focus.
3. Try hitting Enter to dismiss the dialog, it won't work.  You must click OK
with the mouse.

Actual Results:  
Security dialog appeared that could only be dismissed by clicking OK.  Hitting
Enter did not dismiss the dialog.

Expected Results:  
When a security dialog appears (or really, any dialog that you have to
acknowledge to continue browsing), the OK button should have focus so that
pressing Enter will dismiss/acknowledge it.  In dialogs with more than one
button, one of the buttons should have focus, whichever is the least destructive
option.  You should not have to move the mouse to the OK button and click on it
to dismiss the dialog.  There's nothing else that could or should have focus
when the dialog boxes appear, so there's no reason why the OK button should not
have focus.  Versions of Netscape and IE all behave this way:  if you have
security acknowledgements on and go to secure yahoo mail, the dialog pops up to
say you are going to a secure page and you can hit Enter to dismiss it.  You
enter your login information and either tab to the login button and hit enter or
click loging.  A dialog appears telling you you're leaving a secure page.  You
can hit Enter to dismiss the dialog.  This is how Mozilla should work.

Nope.
