User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9b1) Gecko/2007110903 Firefox/3.0b1

If I am using a form page on tab 2 and another form (e.g. gmail) on tab 1, then click in a text box on tab 2 to type something, when I switch using keyboard to tab 1 (by pressing CMD-1) and then start to type, the focus is still in tab 2. so no text appears in the text box on tab 1 (which is visible), however if I switch back to tab 2 (which was invisible) I can see the text I was just typing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load a form in a tab, focus in a textbox
2. load another form in another tab, focus in a textbox
3. switch from one to another using hotkey (e.g. CMD-2 to go to tab 2)
4. type.
Actual Results:  
nothing appears on screen, data is entered in previously active tab


Expected Results:  
data typed should appear in visible text box on currently active tab

workaround - click in the textbox again to force focus to return
