User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Mozilla 1.1 (and its predecessors) constantly loses focus when: 1. A new tab is launched with Ctrl+T 2. Mail is launched 3. Re-connecting after a disconnection with Mozilla still running Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Mail in Mozilla 1.1/Linux 2. Launch a new tab in Mozilla 1.1/Linux 3. Keep Mozilla 1.1/Linux running and re-establish PPP connection Actual Results: 1. No focus. Have to click mouse in Window before I can use the keyboard 2. Tab is launched but focus disappears. Have to click window before keyboard can be accessed 3. Mozilla 1.1/Linux won't even access web pages and Mail often refuses to connect. Requires re-booting Mozilla. Expected Results: 1. Mail should be accessible without clicking the window first 2. Tabs should launch allow immediate Ctrl+Shift+L launch without having to click window first 3. Should be able to retain connection parameters instead of requiring re-boot following a disconnection. The re-connection problems are the most serious but, in general, Mozilla 1.1/Linux doesn't seem to have a clue about retaining focus half of the time. I use it within KDE if that makes any difference. I routinely launch Mozilla via the shell with: $ /usr/local/mozilla/1.1/mozilla & ... so this should prevent any other processes interfering, I would have thought.
I guess this would be either Event Handing or maybe HTML Form Controls. Reporter: Did you mean that any one of 1, 2, or 3 would cause focus to be lost, or that the sequence of 1, 2, and 3 in order will cause it to happen? I haven't run into most of this myself, but I did run into something like the tab problem, and I stumbled across this bug when searching for duplicates prior to reporting a new bug. Looking a little further, what I ran into is a duplicate of bug 124750. This one sounds like something different, though.
