Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 48037

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

scrollbar/window resize keep focus on WindowsXP. see "steps to reproduce" and
"actual results" first. switching to another application (alt-tab e.g.) and
switching back to mozilla, the scrollbar still has the focus. clicking somewhere
in the webpage returns the focus to that window - it's correct again.
the same bug occurs with the resizing function (a bit harder to reproduce - a
few times it worked to make the window so small that you can right click on the
titlebar - but now when i try it again that doesn't work anymore). this one is
more annoying, because the whole mozilla window is being resized all the time,
when you move the mouse cursour (quite confusing if you see it for the first
time) and you can't simply click into the application, because it is "running
away" ;) (the cursour remains at the bottom right of the window until the window
is really small). Changing to another application and switching back also
doesn't help (as already mentioned), neither clicking on the mozilla
window-titlebar. So you have to click on one of the few pixels (e.g.) somewhere
between Edit and View. 
if this happens to someone who is not used to using computers, that person might
restart the computer, i guess ;)

before i could exactly find out (at least for the scrollbar)what the bug is,
these bugs occured a few times in the last few weeks and i can't remember that i
have experienced them before (i don't use nightly builds, but always the latest
(alpha, beta, whatever...) version). well - regression?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open mozilla and load a long webpage (e.g. about:config), so that a scrollbar
appears on the right. 
2.minimize mozilla, so that you can see some part of the windows-desktop right
to the scrollbar
3.left-click the scrollbar, hold left mouse button and move the scrollbar up.
4.still holding the left mouse button move the cursour out of the mozilla window
, so that it is on top of the windows-desktop and right-click with the mouse
5.release left mouse button. 

Actual Results:  
the scrollbar still has the focus. if you move the mouse cursour around, the
scrollbar scrolls up and down.

Expected Results:  
the scrollbar should have returned the focus to the main mozilla application.

Sounds like a dupe of bug 48037

senseless comment: i shouldn't have eaten too much sour-cream recently. of
course i meant the cursor instead of cursour ;)

Yes, this is a duplicate. Bug 48037 comment #9 has a reduced set of steps to
reproduce that are exactly what this bug here could be reduced to (e.g. you do
not have to move the mouse to the top of the desktop).
