147069 - F6 doesn't switch to main screen when displaying a file

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[hugo van woerkom]

When you have the Sidebar up the F6 normally switches the "active cursor"
between sidebar, navigation bar and screen. So when you want to hit a page key
you need to know where you are because the wrong things will scroll.
But when showing a file (file:///) the F6 key only switches between sidebar and
nav bar, never "landing" on the screen so you can use the page keys.
You have to dig your mouse out of your pocket and use it. Select some text and
then can you use the scroll keys.

Works for me.  I am using

OS: Linux 2.4.18 RedHat 7.2 (XFree86 4.1.0)

Tried steps as outlined by reporter.

Recreated described conditions: 
While URL in location bar is pointing to a file (file:///somefile)


Actions taken to recreate bug:
Was able to switch from location bar, Sidebar, and "screen" (or browser window)
using the F6 function key.  Also, was able to scroll all three components
contents when in focus.

Since reproducing this bug seems unsuccessful, I'm marking this uncomfirmed bug
as WORKSFORME.  Hugo, please feel free to reopen this bug if reproducible in a
current build.  Thanks.

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

mass-verifying WorksForMe bugs.

reopen only if this bug is still a problem with a *recent trunk build*.
