103980 - focus ring persists in frame after clicking in another frame

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

found using 2001.10.09.0x-trunk bits on linux and winnt, and 2001.10.08.20-trunk
bits on mac 10.1.

1. go to a page with frames, eg, http://faqs.org
2. go to the URL bar so that it's in focus, either click in it or accel+L.
3. hit the tab key until the top [banner] frame displays the focus ring.
4. mouse-click in another frame --either the left navigation one, or the main one.
5. start scrolling [via keyboard or mouse].

results: while i'm able to scroll in the frame selected in step 4, the focus
ring persists in the top frame [from step 3].

expected: the focus ring should go away.

when i do a mouse click on the frame - it does not show the focus ring for that
frame. Whereas, it is displayed when i tab to the frame.

Yes, that's expected.  I discussed this with German awhile back and we decided
that the ring wasn't necessary when you click (since you know where the focus is
going), and would be detrimental to web site authors trying to create a
borderless-frame look.
