Hi there,
I have a small problem with Mozi's (2002031008) windows. Should be simple to fix.
Whenever there's some window open and I move the mouse over it, my window
manager (fvwm2) activates it. That's ok. The window is really active, the mouse
pointer changes its shape when moving over different content-regions of the window.
The problem: When I activate the window by moving over it, the window doesn't
seem to have the keyboard focus. I can press CTRL-W (window-close) as often as I
desire, nothing is closed.
After pushing the left mousebutton once in the window it has the keyboard focus.

One comment: The problem seems to be that Mozi activates any text field in the
newly activated window to have the focus. The problem is that text fields (even
the location field) capture common keyboard shortcuts like CTRL-w.

Ctrl+W has a different meaning in a text box which is to cut text to a
marker(which i guess is always beginning of line).
Other shortcuts will work nonetheless.

or better yet Ctrl+W means cut one word back.
as you can tell I'm a vi, and not an emacs user =)
So what is this bug still about?
Mozilla shouldn't focus a text area when focusing the browser?

Mozilla does not focus a textbox unless it was focused when you left the browser.
Do we still have a bug Stephan, or shall I mark this INVALID?

I think the problem is the Command key and Menu-shortcut under Linux.
They shouldn't be the same, and the key mappings shouldn't interfer.
Shortcuts should have a distinct mapping.
My problem only disturbes the flow of work in some circumstances. I really ask
myself sometimes where my CTRL-w keystrokes went ;).
It is really a minor problem I think. Delete this bug if you can't see my problem.

So you're saying that there should be an alternative to Ctrl+W?

Yes an alternative would be 100% ok. Maybe one could allow to use the old
Netscape key mapping with ALT-w (maybe modifying the global menu key mapping
with an option in Edit/Preferences :)? Or using the new menu/windoze-key in
addition to the normal mapping (pretty useless keys ;).
This would be great!
