104602 - Tab (key) focus still on back browser tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 106123

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Ryan McLoughlin]

Win95   0.9.5   2001 10 11 17
I feel like I'm going to be writing "tab" a lot.  Occasionally the window gets
in a state where if you press the "Tab" key on the keyboard to move the link
focus around, the link focus spins through the links on the browser tab that's
behind the current one in view.

Steps to reproduce (detailed, possibly not all necessary):
1. Make sure that preferences are set so that a new window opens with a blank page.
2. Open a new window.
3. Type http://www.yahoo.com/ in the URL and press enter.
4. Press Ctrl-T
5. In the url bar type http://www.mozilla.org/ and press enter.
6. Press the "Tab" key on the keyboard repeatedly.

Result:
The yahoo links are spun through.

Expected Result:
The mozilla links are spun through.
Reproducible:
With the above steps, always.

I don't see this on a new Linux build where "tab" alone is used.
Is this fixed or still a bug?
