If a search engine is selected, and the focus remains on the drop-down when the sidebar is closed, an up-arrow or down-arrow will affect the drop-down, not the page being browsed. This doesn't happen often, but it is weird to see a drop-down dropping out of nowhere.
should this go under Search component?
That's up to you. IMHO, the sidebar hide event should remove the focus from all of its components and, maybe, set the focus on the page being browsed.
Reporter, How did you close the sidebar: with F9 (or the View|Sidebar menu item), or did you collapse it by dragging the grippy on the vertical splitter? Thanks.
This appears fixed for the hidden case, but not for the collapsed case.
