228641 - old tab steals focus from new tab

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 124750

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Wouter van Wijk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

Sometimes, when opening a new tab, the focus is not set to the location bar, but
stays on the previously selected and hidden tab. The old tab seems to steal the
focus from the new tab. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new browser window, type www.google.com in the location bar
2. Hit enter and immediately hit ctrl-t
3. Start typing the desired address for the new tab

(I have the 'Load links in background' option set to on. Google.com is just an
example, it always happens with pages setting the focus to a form)
Actual Results:  
The location bar isn't focussed. When I type, nothing seems to happen. But when
I go to the first tab, I see the text I typed appear in the form field of the
Google page.

Expected Results:  
Set the focus to the location bar, and only set the focus inside the hidden tab
page, not to the global Mozilla chrome. It must be the javascript focus command.
