129889 - content area doesn't lose dotted border when i use an accesskey

Status: NEW

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

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~jruderma/s/.
2. Focus the content area by
 (a) clicking the content area
 (b) typing ctrl+L, tab
 (c) typing tab, shift+tab
3. Alt+2 to jump to the bugzilla search form.

Result: with (a), works fine.  With (b) or (c), leaves dotted border around
content area.

4. Press tab.

Result: with (a) or (b), works fine.  With (c), iinstead of focusing the next
link, "Dictionary", it focuses the first link, "Google" (as if the content area
itself still had focus).

Why do (b) and (c) result in different states?

Jesse, is this still a problem for you using recent builds?

i tried this out using 2002.03.13 comm bits on linux rh7.2, win2k and mac 10.1.3
(used 'control+2' on mac for page accesskey).

Step 4 works fine for me now in all cases, but I still see the problem where the
dotted border around the content area doesn't go away after step 3.

Legit bug.

-> bryner, who implemented the dotted border.

Gilbert, can you take a look at this?

Yes, I examed it and found that 2.(a) 2.(b) does not work well neither. The
dotted  border is still  around the content area.

Possibly related: bug 180638, Phoenix autocomplete box doesn't go away if I
unfocus it using an accesskey.
