Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 124750

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

[Jose Elias]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

When I go to a group of tabs, if an html page in one of the background tabs
requests the keyboard focus it is given to it (it shouldn't), and this causes
the user to (1) lose focus on the first "front" tab while typing something, and
(2) make the background tab (which you cannot see) accept all the user input
(keystrokes and cursor scrolling.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bookmark a group of tabs (yahoo mail, new york times and slashdot for example).
2. Go to that group of tabs and start typing.


Actual Results:  
The focus does not remain on your yahoo mail but rather on the new york times
tab in the back.

Expected Results:  
Not allow background tabs to grab the keyboard focus.
