21363 - loss of :focus no longer causing repaint

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 25258

(Core :: XUL, defect, P1)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

DESCRIPTION:  Links seem to be staying permanently in the :focus state when
tabbing through links.  I believe this is a recent regression.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
 * load http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dbaron/
 * click on the page (not on a link)
 * hit TAB repeatedly

ACTUAL RESULTS:
 * all the links one has tabbed through stay with a red background after they
have been tabbed through

EXPECTED RESULTS:
 * a link should only have a red background when it has the focus

DOES NOT WORK
CORRECTLY ON:
 * Linux, apprunner, 1999-12-09-15-M12

WORKS CORRECTLY ON:
 * older builds, I think (more info later, I hope...)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  This bug filed using Linux mozilla 1999-12-09-15-M12.

That's not the problem, actually.  If I cause a repaint, things are fine.  So
the problem is that loss of :focus is no longer causing a repaint.

Actually, maybe not.  It only works if I trigger the repaint by hovering over
the links.  If I trigger the repaint by exposing the window, it doesn't.
However, is some of the data stored in the view system?

I will take a shot at this and say after reviewing the focus bug reports, it is
related or is a duplicate of one of saari's bugs. reassigning to Chris

Why was the component of this bug changed to XPMenus?  I don't see what this has
to do with them?

DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON:
 * mozilla, 1999-12-09-15-M12
 * mozilla, 1999-12-08-08-M12

WORKS CORRECTLY ON (mostly):
 * mozilla, 1999-12-07-15-M12
 * mozilla, 1999-12-06-13-M12
 * mozilla, 1999-12-01-13-M12
 * viewer, 1999-12-01-13-M12
 * viewer, 1999-11-29-08-M12
 * viewer, 1999-11-11-08-M12

The time this regression occurred is therefore narrowed to a period of 17 hours.

Looking at the list of checkins, I strongly suspect this bug was caused by
hyatt's checkin of 1999-12-07 20:54.
