User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 The problem is when mozilla has established connection with a site, and status bar says "transferring data from site" but has not yet started displaying the page: it's no longer reading keyboard input, specifically CTRL-T and CTRL-TAB or CTRL-PAGEDOWN...This is frustrating because while waiting for a page to load, I'm wanting to go on and do something in another tab. The good news is that if I use the MOUSE, Mozilla does indeed respond (e.g., switch to another tab), so Mozilla just needs to be checking for keyboard input as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Navigate to a new page. When status bar says "transferring data from...", hit CTRL-PGDWN to go to next tab or CTRL-T to open new tab. Actual Results: nothing happens. However, if you CLICK (with mouse) on next tab, works. Expected Results: Switched to next tab or opened a new tab
