11547 - need focus before using keyboard shortcuts

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 9701

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[sujay]

using 8/10 build of apprunner

1) launch apprunner
2) launch editor
3) Use Alt-F keyboard sequence to open file menu

It doesn't work. You first have to click in the window
and then use Alt-F to open file menu.

comparing to 4.x, you don't need to give focus, it works directly.

all platforms.

Yes, your content area should have the focus, and it seems like it doesn't.

assigned to hyatt. In private emails, david thought there was a decent chance
this was his bug.  If it turns out to be an editor bug, please reassign to
simon.
Simon, you could help David out by doing a quick scan of our code to verify
we're doing the right thing at launch to set the focus into our content area.

Gonna offload this to saari... this may have more to do with bad characters
being specified on ALT key presses.

this a dup of 9701, and the focus problems in general.
