117139 - keyboard shortcuts don't work until menu item is selected

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 36016

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

Description

[charles mangin]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

upon initial launch, the browser does not open a new window, create a mail
message, etc, via keyboard shortcut - command-N, command-M, etc - until the
menubar is selected. clicking on any item in the menubar (file, edit, etc) even
without selecting anything, reactivates the keyboard shortcuts again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. launch mozilla
2. try to open a new window with command-N (nothing happens)
3. click and release the menubar
4. try to open a new window with command-N (it works)

This worksforme with 122808 fizzilla build. Perhaps the focus isn't being set on
the application at startup for you. I've also tested with the 0.9.7 build and it
works for me there. I tested with one profile (bypass the pick profile dialog)
and with two profiles.

for what it's worth, i'm running OS X v10.1.2 on an iBook 2001. i updated to
10.1.2 about the same time as i updated my install of mozilla to the binary
distro of 0.9.7 from 0.9.6 so there may be a connection there.

I am seeing the same using Mozilla 0.9.7 running
under Mac OS 9.1 (UK). I instantly spotted that 
cmd-N did not launch a new window when I needed it. 

I was not aware of the same problem in 0.9.6.

this is heinously bad, but probably a dupe of another bug saari has

Pink, I'm giving this back to you as I'm not running osx (and won't be on my
little g3 laptop)

Think this could be related to Dan's regresion?
