160518 - Single mouse click doesn't switch focus to frame with web content when the text autocompletion menu is active

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 66834

(SeaMonkey :: Autocomplete, defect)

Description

[Ittai Balaban]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020722
BuildID:    2002072204

To reproduce:
- Navigate to some web location
- In the address bar, begin typing in a previously visited url, until the
autocompletion menu pops up
- Now mouse click inside the frame with the web content
- Instead of the focus now being inside the "web content frame" (don't know what
the technical name for it is), the focus is still on the address bar. Only a
second mouse click will switch the focus.

This is really annoying, because accidentally type something in the address bar,
or start typing then change your mind, then click inside the browser and try to
scroll down with the keyboard, you get the autocompletion menu popping up again.
It can take a few iterations of mouse clicking -> scrolling -> annoying popup
menu until you realize you need to click the mouse twice to transfer the focus.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
As described above.
