Description

[Eli Goldberg]

(This must be a duplicate, but I can't find any branched off of 12673, and am
thus writing up.)

* TITLE/SUMMARY
Page Up/Down/Home/End/etc require explicit placement of focus

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0) Launch Apprunner
1) View any web page (I viewed http://sauron.unh.edu/images/fantasy/jjusko/
jj_15.jpg, from bug #10018)
2) Press the page down, home, end, page up, arrow keys, etc.

* RESULT
 - What happened

Nothing. You must specifically place the focus within the browser window before
any of the navigation keys do anything.

 - What was expected

Focus to be automatically placed for keyboard commands, as is the case in other
popular browsers (well, IE. ;)
