244317 - Strange behaviour when using tab key to navigate through links with nested elements

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 243028

(Firefox :: General, defect)

The first time I recognized this bug is following build:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040430
Firefox/0.8.0+ 

This build is working for me: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US;
rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040429 Firefox/0.8.0+ 

Open the testcase and try to navigate through the list of links. Entries named
"span outside" blur correctly and move the focus to the next entry by pressing
the tab key.  Using one or more span tags inside <a> we have to press count+1
times the tab key to select the next entry. Using shift+tab to move backwards is
always broken by elements with a nested span.

Attachment: Nested elements doesn't move focus to next entry by pressing the tab key once.

Bug 243028 results in the same behavior. So duping it... Thanks Pike.
