Description

[Larry Alton Garrett]

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

Performing multi-tabbed browsing.  Opening two or more tabs with text-input
fields (in this specific case, web-based e-mail login pages).  One page open,
other page still loading in background.  Begin input of text into page on top. 
Background tab completes loading and stays in background, but input of text info
is redirected to first text input field on page in background which completes
loading during my input of text information.  Example:  Inputting my name to
PageA (foreground tab) and PageB (background tab) completes loading upon the
completion of typing my middle name.  Once I complete typing my full name, I
will find "Larry Alton" in the text input box on PageA and " Garrett" in the
first text input box on PageB.  PageB stays in the background the entire time,
however.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
see details above
Actual Results:  
see details above

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have retained focus on both the tab and current field in which I
was inputting text.
