Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

If I go to a new page, and then hit command-L to switch to the location bar,
everything works as it should. But, once I'm in the location bar, if I hit tab,
focus doesn't appear to change at all... but typing will do nothing. No letters
will appear anywhere, look-ahead find won't activate, and no matter how many
times I hit tab, neither the location bar nor any form elements in the page will
gain focus. The only way to fix this is to click on the page itself, or to hit
command-L again and type a new url. This problem also occurs if I originally
switched to the location bar by switching, incidentally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to the webpage of your choice, I used www.google.com. Wait for page to load.
2. Switch to the location bar by clicking or using the key shortcut
3. Hit tab.
4. Now type, or hit tab, as much as you like.
Actual Results:  
Focus didn't appear to change, but typing became useless, as did hitting tab.

Expected Results:  
Hitting tab should (I believe) have switched focus to the page itself, allowing
me to hit tab again to switch to form elements, or start typing to activate
look-ahead find.

This bug occurs with every theme I've used.

Confirmed using FizzillaMach/2002112607. Also happens when the I-beam cursor is
showing in the location field. Hitting tab loses keyboard focus, but I-beam
cursor continues to be displayed and blink.

Is this related to bug 89214 or bug 172841?

This worksforme with linux seamonkey trunk build 2005121604
Is this still a problem on Mac?

Worksforme with seamonkey branch and trunk - Mac OS 10.3.9. Sometimes a frozen "ghost" cursor remains in the location bar (when focus have been switched from location bar), though. But that's probably another issue...
