Details

In Google Groups's framed-thread view, the large frame calls window.focus() to allow users to scroll using the keyboard. (Google does this because few browsers automatically focus the largest frame (bug 86931)). This causes the window to jump to the front when the frame loads, which isn't what Google is trying to do. Steps to reproduce: 1. Make sure "Allow scripts to... raise or lower windows" is checked (because of bug 118993). 2. Start loading http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=200210092201.g99M1Vm16599%40smtp.oreilly.com 3. Quickly switch to another browser window. Result: the window loading the thread jumps to the front. Expected: focus within the window loading the thread should move to the frame (so after switching to the window, scrolling with the keyboard should work) but the window should not jump to the front.
