199999 - Window load steals focus from other apps

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Felix Miata]

This is old. Due to bug 199901 I'm currently using 2003032009 OS/2 trunk,
previously 2003033012.

To reproduce (method 1):
1-Open browser
2-Set Chatzilla to automatically open channels on open (e.g. #mozillazine &)
3-Open Chatzilla
4-Immediately focus another application

To reproduce (method 2):
1-Open browser
2-Select a URL that doesn't begin to render immediately
3-Immediately focus another application

Actual results:
1-Chatzilla steals focus when channels first connect; or
2-Browser steals focus when page starts to render

Expected results:
1-Mozilla windows stay where you leave them until you raise them yourself

Comment 2

[Ere Maijala (slow)]

Could be the same problem as bug 163372 and bug 191896.

Comment 3

[Andreas Kunz]

This seems to be bug 124638 - but that one has been fixed at 2003-02-25.
Are you sure you can reproduce it with builds after that date?

Comment 4

[Felix Miata]

I tried to reproduce in W32 2003032808 and could not.

Comment 5

[Andreas Kunz]

And you did say this bug occurs in 2003032009 and 2003033012?
Or only builds from February?

Comment 6

[Felix Miata]

[OS/2 only] I haven't tested Feb builds since Feb. It happens in the build I am
using now, 2003032009, and in every build since that I have tried (virtually all
through yesterday noon). All the newer than 2003032009 OS/2 builds either have
bug 198653, bug 199068 and/or bug 199901 making their use difficult. If you want
me to test an old build, suggest one. The oldest I have are 7 March & 15 Jan.

Comment 7

[Andreas Kunz]

No, it's ok.
What I wanted to know is if it still occurs after 02/25.
However, I cannot reproduce it on my 2003032701 CVS build on Win2k.
So if it is a bug then probybly a OS/2-only one.

Changing summary to say that it is the _Chatzilla_ window.

Comment 8

[Felix Miata]

I did the summary for a reason. Bugzilla queries do the same thing, as described
in the original description.

Comment 9

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

This definitely is cross platform.

Note that focus is only stolen from other OS windows, not other Mozilla windows.

So to test this, don't use a Mozilla window.

Comment 10

[Felix Miata]

This bug is bug 178309 reincarnated. Upgrading severity because OS/2
(2003032009) crash possible (repeatable at will).

I can reproduce this neither on Linux 2003040105 nor recent W32 builds. No
crash, no focus steal except on OS/2.

Comment 11

[Andreas Kunz]

Re comment #9:
This might affect various platforms, but I also cannot reproduce it on Win2k
using a current CVS build. (tested with a Explorer an EditPad and an IE window)

Re comment #8:
Sorry, re-setting summary.

In bug 124638 "input.focus()" was the problem. There is a separate bug (bug
124750) about setting the focus to a textfield stealing focus. Maybe this is
also the problem here, probably not (since chatzilla is safe against that bug).

Comment 12

[Felix Miata]

OS/2 crash spun off to bug 200373. Reducing severity to minor.

Comment 13

[Bill Mason]

*** Bug 213964 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 14

[W.M.]

So would it be fixed in next builds? It really stops the usage of mozilla :((

Comment 15

[W.M.]

Are there somebody watching this problem?

Comment 16

[Ere Maijala (slow)]

Bug 207639 is about the usual cause of this problem. It's been a bit quiet
lately though.

Comment 17

[W.M.]

I have no ideas about how apply this patch(c++ code) to compiled win32 executable :)

I try to install Mozilla ver 1.4 in hope that it fix problem, but problem still
exist(may be in cause overinstalling older build above newest) a and I cann't
create and test some html-php sripts in mozilla more :((

Comment 18

[W.M.]

I have the same problem with Mozilla 1.6a (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98;
en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031030)

:(

Comment 19

[Felix Miata]

Another repro scenario (in 2004010408 and prior OS/2 trunk):
1-open lots of tabs, many or all with news article pages opened from
http://www.theregister.co.uk/
2-focus last tab
3-focus next to last tab, and immediately focus some other app

actual-Mozilla steals focus as new tab starts painting

expected-other app maintains focus

comments: on this K6/3+ 550 machine running eCS 1.1, switching among tabs
holding The Register news articles is very slow, with a noticable delay before
painting ever begins after a tab switch.

Comment 20

[lohphat]

I'm seeing this problem with simple page updates after a form submission, not
just when opening a new window or tab. 2004011108 win32.

Comment 21

[Roscoe Primrose]

I'm still seeing this behaviour with 2004082604 (which I believe is the released
1.7.2).  In response to comment #9, I'm seeing focus stolen from other Mozilla
windows as well.

XP SP2 (SP2 didn't change the behaviour of this bug)

Comment 23

[Nickolay_Ponomarev]

Is this different from 88810?

Comment 24

[Robin Monks]

This also occurs with me on Firefox 1.0.2 with WinXP SP2.

Comment 25

[Ere Maijala (slow)]

This shouldn't happen anymore on Windows (at least since Firefox 2). Anyone still seeing this?

Comment 26

[Felix Miata]

Don't see it on OS/2 any more with rv:1.8.1.

Close as WORKSFORME.
