User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; es-ES; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; es-ES; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 ---- It happens in different versions of Mozilla (1.3, 1.4...) in different languages (en, es-ES) and in different Operating Systems (Windows, Linux) If you are writing text in a form while another page, also with a form with text input fields, is loading "in background" in a different tab, when the background page finishes loading, its form gets the text input focus. So, you see that nothing is written while you type, but, if you change to the other tab, you find there the text you were blindly typing. *Important* If you were typing a password, the password may get written in a visible field and, anyway, if you blindly press return, your password could be visibly submitted to a wrong place (it happened to me some times) and/or be saved by the auto form fill feature. So it can be considered also a security issue Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a page with a form with text input fields. For example, www.hotmail.com 2. When the first page is completely loaded, open another one in a new tab, with also a form with text input fields. 3. Switch to the first page tab 4. Start writing in any text input field while the other page finishes loading Actual Results: When the second page finishes loading, the focus is there and you don't see what you are writing. If you switch to the second page tab, you can see what you were writing in the text input field which got the focus. Expected Results: You should have been able to go on writing in the foreground (first page) tab, and the focus should have gone to the suitable input field when you changed to the background (second page) tab, and only then.
