Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

With Mail window open, create new Navigator window, open Google, then flip back
to Mail to check the search item's spelling. When back at Navigator, no keys
function, although the input cursor is in the entry field. Repeated mouseclicks
to realize the panel do not cause the field to become available for entry or
edit. The only choice is to kill the Navigator window and open a new one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.From mail, open a new navigator window.
2.Type something; minimize navigator and then restore it from task bar (Os/X).
3.Field on panel no longer editable, even though cursor is in the field.

Actual Results:  
Google search prompt field frozen.

Expected Results:  
Allow continued editing of active navigator field.

This reliably fails. I will investigate whether opening other navigator windows
or address book, etc. generates the same "lock" in the navigator panel.

WorksForMe using FizzillaMach/2003-05-20-08-trunk. Werner, can you still
reproduce this problem using a current nightly build? If so, can you reproduce
this problem using another Mozilla user profile?
