Click a link which creat a new windows as shown before,
the focus is not on document but on address bar.
So press a cursor key to scroll new document, cursor moves in address bar.
Ctrl + Click(open link in new window) behave this way as well.

This is a regression bug - older versions (~1.0.2?) had exhibitted this problem
and a bugzilla issue was opened on it...; I had been using 1.2.1, which did not
exhibit this problem; 1.4.0b does exhibit the issue.  Try clicking any link off
of http://www.buzzflash.com for an example.

Empty new windows should focus on the URL bar, but new windows with content need
to focus on the document, not the URL bar.

Confirmed in 1.4b and in a seamonkey trunk nightly (07/30).

This may now be fixed after patches that resolved Bug 213922. WFM now, at least
with target=_blank.
