181112 - Keyboard focus does not work as expected after a failed DNS search

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 135363

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

Description

[Nick Bobic]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021110
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021110

After typing a search string in an address bar and after pressing the Enter key
by a mistake (instead of down-arrow followed by an Enter) and after going back,
focus does not work as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type something in an address bar: "Dan Gillmor blog". This is the search
string we're trying to pass on to a search engine we've selected in Prefs.
2. Press Enter
3. We've made a mistake. Mozilla comes back and tells us that DNS failed for
that URL. Of course... we should have pressed down arrow followed by enter!
4. Click OK, move focus back to address filed using a mouse.
5. Press down arrow twice to select "Search Google for "Dan Gillmor blog""
6. Press Enter.


Actual Results:  
Mozilla responds that it cannot load the URL because it is still trying to use
DNS to find "Dan Gillmor blog" website.

Expected Results:  
Use Google.com and pass the string to it.

I use Pinstripe as my standard theme but this bug is reproducible with all other
themes that I've tried.

Is this a Mac only bug?

No. It is reproducible under WinXP and Linux as well.
