192033 - shortcuts not working in empty tab

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 112337

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

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030203

Keyboard is not responding When focus switched to tab that is empty.
The "empty" has special meaning here - the grey-empty, not white-empty.
You can see white-empty tab when you create new tab (ctrl-t), the grey-empty is
when the page cannot be loaded into new tab because of error (connection
problems etc.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create/go to page with link pointing to nonexistent domain
2. try to open the link in new tab (from context menu)
3. switch to that tab (with mouse or ctrl-tab)

Actual Results:  
Keyboard shortcuts not active.


Note that it's not the matter of "cannot open" message box. The same effect can
be achevied different way: just open a link that connects slowly in new tab -
while trying to load (tab "loading..." animation) the tab is gray-empty and
shortcuts are not working.
