388146 - keyboard navigation broken when more than one tab is open

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[jonathan chetwynd]

I would expect to be able to navigate freely in any number of tabs and find focus remains where last it was in the content, or application.
as per HTML.

open http://www.peepo.co.uk in one tab
use keyboard to navigate through say 4 links.
open another tab http://www.peepo.co.uk
use keyboard to navigate through say 4 links.
return to the first tab, and it appears that focus is retained.

BUT now try to move focus...
in fact focus is with the application, not in the content window
and when focus moves to content window it starts with first link.

This contrasts with the first case in #49 where focus is in the content window
on the link that had focus last."

also my original example:

some aspects of this bug are discussed in Bug 316191
is now broken, clues please....

What build are you seeing this in? Are you saying that the patch in bug 316191 didn't fix this issue?

Still remains issue of how to navigate with  keyboard between tabbed windows, but that is a  separate bug.
