12776 - Tabbing through anchors - focus indicator not removed

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Ian Graham]

When using the tab key to sequence between anchor elements, the browser
does not scroll down (or up) if the user tabs to an anchor outside the
displayed region.  This is demonstrated in

http://www.java.utoronto.ca/NS5-bugs/tab-to-anchor-test.html

NOTE: In NS 4 and IE 4/5 the browser's "location" (URL) field is included
in the tab-for-focus sequence. On Seamonkey, this field is not accessible
using the tab key. This may be a design decision, or it may be a bug ;-)

Forgot to mention platform (Win 98) and build (M9) .....

This works now.  There are some odd painting flaws though - when an offscreen
link is scrolled into view, the link directly above it still appears to have
focus (The page is not repainted correctly).  If a repaint is forced (bringing
another window in front then removing it), the display is correct.

I only tested this on Linux Viewer.

Tested on windows, works there too.

I see the same painting flaw on Windows 98 -- but otherwise the tabbing
mechanism works correctly. Accesskey attributes also seem to work fine :-)
