Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 82534

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

Description

[Joeri Vlekken]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721
BuildID:    2002072104

Type something in the search box of http://www.overture.com and after that,
don't hit search but select somewhere on the flash presentation you see right
above the search box, then select the textbox again, it's unable to type or make
any changes even while the cursor is there and the textbox is selected.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type something in the textbox of the searchbox at http://www.overture.com
2. Click anywhere on the flash presentation above the searchbox
3. Click on the testbox again.

Actual Results:  The textbox is selected and you see the cursor active in the
textbox but it's unable to make any changes in the text.

Expected Results:  You should be able to make changes in the text after this steps.

Maybe a problem with the focus after selecting a plug-in element like Flash.

Seing the same on Windows 98, only way to be able to edit the text field again
is to switch to another program and the switch back to Mozilla.
