19015 - After using Ctrl+G to "Find Again" in Bookmarks, pressing Enter launches previously selected bookmark item

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[jklenk]

This has been happening as far back as I can remember, and it's always really
bothered me (since I greatly prefer the keyboard over the mouse).

1.)  Go into bookmarks.
2.)  Do a single Find (Ctrl+F), using search criteria that will match multiple
bookmarks.  For instance, do a search on "http".
3.)  The first item found will be correctly highlighted and selected (you can
see the dotted outline above and below it).
4.)  Do a Find Again (Ctrl+G).  The next matching bookmark is correctly found
and highlighted.  However, it is *NOT* selected.  You can see that the first
bookmark that was found with the Ctrl+F search still has the dotted outline.

At this point, if you use an up/down arrow key or press Enter (etc...), then
your keyboard input will be acting on the first found bookmark, not the
highlighted one.

This is annoying, because I have to keep switching between keyboard and mouse (I
have to click on the second found bookmark before being able to load it with the
Enter key).

Is this a bug in 4.x or Mozilla?
