A shortcut to the browser was create with a shortkut key assigned.
All works well if you launch the browser from the keyboard shortcut.
Things go wrong if you first have the mail client loaded and then launch the
browser using the keyboard shortcut.
If you now want to type in a new URL you cannot as no keystrokes are registered.

Keyboard shortcut on desktop won't launch browser if mail component is already
running on win98SE

==> NT specific. Somebody pleasy confirm.

This was definitely fixed AFTER Mozilla 1.1a (it was one of the main testcases
for bug 82534). Now, when you have Mail minimized and you open browser from
shortcut, it's working as expected. Keith, you may download the latest "trunk"
build from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/ and test again. If
you want to use only "milestone releases", you have to wait for Mozilla 1.1 beta
(soon to be released). Then, if you still see the issue, re-open this bug.
