I know I have seen this, but your scenario is not good enough.

With focus problems, PLEASE be very precise.

" I pressed this key, i did this"

For instance, how did you open a tab, how did you switch out of Mozilla, how did
you switch back?

``Focus'' stuff here is just a switching from/to mozilla in steps 3-4. Switching
is  done by moving mouse to other application window titlebar and clicking on
it. Switching back is done in the same manner: by clicking on mozilla navigator
window titlebar.

How to open a tab actually doesn't matter. You can click on a button, you can
press Ctrl+T, whatever...

I'm sorry, but your not understanding me.

I tried your scenario and did not see the problem. For any problem that has to
do with focus, very precise steps are needed. The tiniest variation can cause a
different problem.

Please reproduce the problem and post the EXACT steps you followed.

Open the browser. Go to this page. Click in URL bar. Press Ctrl+T...etc. .etc.

Ok. Let me specify a precise sequence:

1. Set up Navigator to display a blank page at startup
2. Open a new (first) navigator window by pressing Ctrl-N
3. Open a second navigator window by pressing Ctrl-N again
4. Enter "bla-bla-bla" in the URL field of the second navigator window
5. Click on titlebar of the first navigator window
6. Click somewhere _inside the blank page_ of the second navigator window
7. Click on URL field of the second navigator window
8. Try to move cursor by arrows/Home/End/etc. keys

I still see the problem following sequence in comment #4

Key handling in Mozilla is on my machine broken up to 1.4.
Page Up/Down rarely works, typing in a text field (form) requires clicking in
the field by mouse twice, etc.
Actually it's not very nice to use due to this problems :-(

Argh. I should have caught this.

We should be telling Mozilla that focus changed on an activate.

Looks good.  Should we put this in 1.4.x?
