105744 - Cursor down will not always work correctly in browser

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 66834

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

Description

[peter_leenders]

Hello guys,

I´m using the Windows version of Mozilla 0.9.5 (Build 2001101117). If you look
at an normal HTML-Page an then click on the URL-line, then use cursor down and
afterwards click back on the html-page (or the slider) cursor down would scroll
down (fokus would loose URL-line as it seems do me). This behaviour shows on
pages working with frames, asp, or other non plain html pages. If you switch to
another windows (e.g. a 2. browser window) and back than cursor down works
correctly (!).

e.g. for HTML-Pages with this  behaviour:

By the way - quite a lot of the old bug seemed to be fixed (:-))

Does this only happen if you hit the down arrow key while focus is in the 
location bar (before you click on the page)?  If so, the problem is that the 
auto-complete feature in the URL bar is preventing the click from going through 
to the page (bug 82787 or bug 66834).  You can get around this problem by 
clicking on the page twice when auto-complete is active.
