157336 - spacebar scrolling prevented by typing in URL bar

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 66834

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Andrew Hagen]

Go to any web page. Hit the spacebar or Page Down key. The page scrolls down.
Now scroll back up. Click in the URL bar. Type something. Click in whitespace in
the browser window. Hit the spacebar or Page Down key again. The page does not
scroll down. 

Now scroll down with the scroll bar or the mousewheel. Now scroll down with the
space bar. Now it works. It looks like typing in URL bar without hitting enter
stymies keyboard scrolling.

Tested with Mozilla 1.1 trunk 2002071304 Windows 98.

I can't find any dupes. Is this a regression?

This is probably a dup of bug 66834.  Xah, when you click in the content area,
is focus left in the address bar?  Does clicking in the content area a second
time work?  Do you see an autocomplete widget disappear when you click the first
time?

Yes. After I click in the content area, the drop down list disappears. Then,
when I type something, the characters appear in the URL bar. The URL bar still
has the focus.

Feel free to mark as a duplicate as appropriate.
