I use the current snapshoot 1999-12-10-08 for Linux (under SuSE 6.3).
Problem:
a) After the page is loaded, I'm unable to use the keyboard (arrow keys etc) to
move inside of the page -- until I clicked into the window using the  mouse.
Then everything works fine.

b) Using the tabulator key to jump from link to link, the current link is
highlighted using a doted frame. jumping to the next link this frame isn't
deleted. (FEATURE whish: please don't start at the top of the page, this is
quite irritating when you have scrolled to the right part of a rather long page;
instead start to use the top-most link of the current view point)

c) <textarea> and <input> fields cannot be reached using the tabulator key. I
can move from link to link to button to combobox, but not to a edit field (or
out of one).
Reassigning all of leger's unscreened Browser-General bugs to nobody@mozilla.org
for pre-screening and triage.
This looks to be a dup of one or more of bug 3593 and/or bug 16065.

burnus@gmx.de, can you look at those, and if they are close enough, resolve this
as a dup.

Summary: Keyboard navigation: [Tab] jump Redraw; kb nav impossble after initial loading → [PP] Keyboard navigation: [Tab] jump Redraw; kb nav impossble after initial loading
The problem with needing to click inside the window before keystrokes work
noted in (a) is bug 9701.

The highlighting behaviour noted in (b) is a DUP of bug 20322, "objects not
removing border when losing focus on tabbing".

The "jumping to the top of the page" behaviour noted in (b) is a DUP of bug
16065, "Keyboard navigation not jumping to proper UI elements", which seems
to be fixed.

The behaviour in (c) I observed on 2000-01-10 with a recent nightly build,
so this is still a problem, and is what this bug must be about now.
Generically this is bug 3593, but basic tabbing (not including TABINDEX support)
seems to be working on Windows and Mac. Adding "[PP]" notation.

Completely unsure who should get this.

Summary: [PP] Keyboard navigation: [Tab] jump Redraw; kb nav impossble after initial loading → Keyboard navigation: [Tab] jump Redraw; kb nav impossble after initial loading
The behaviour described in (c) is working correctly with 3/1/2000 build of 
mozilla on Linux. Since the (a) and (b) are dups of other bugs, I am marking 
this fixed.
