232770 - Tab-switching shortcuts don't work when address bar has focus (Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+PgDn)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, defect, P1)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040128
Firebird/0.8.0+

Steps to reproduce:
1. Ctrl+T (or Alt+D if you already have multiple tabs open) 
2. Ctrl+Tab

Result: nothing happens
Expected: switch tabs. (I don't know whether focus should remain in the address
bar or go to whatever had focus when the switched-to tab was last selected.)

Could be related to bug 227887, "Ctrl+Tab doesn't work in failed (gray,
completely blank) tab".

This might be related to bug 223675, since I tried this under Linux and it
failed to switch tabs.

Ctrl + tab works from the addressbar (with or without a new tab) for me using a
recent linux (GTK2) nightly.  Ctrl+tab first gives focus to the content area and
then swiiches ttabs. Ctrl + PgUp and Ctrl + PgDn appear to open the addess
dropdown widget instead of switching tabs.

It's supposed to switch tabs even if the address bar has focus.

Ctrl-Tab AND Ctrl-Shift-Tab works when the address bar AND the search bar has
focus. This bug is definitely not present on Linux anymore.

I've also noticed that if a text field on the web page itself has focus,
ctrl-page up and page down are either ignored, or pull down the completion
listing for that field.

Fixed.

When the address bar is pulled down (showing the list), control-tab still
doesn't switch tabs for me. Shall I file a different bug?  Running nightly
MacOSX/10.3.4 build.
