250919 - Shift-Tab does nothing when Search Bar is focused

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 229100

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

When the Search Bar is focused (the cursor is blinking), pressing the Shift-Tab
key combination does not do anything. Pressing Tab while the Location Bar is
focused takes you to the Search Bar, so it's reasonable to expect that Shift-Tab
will take you back. The Location Bar is also visually to the left of the Search
Bar, so one would expect Shift-Tab from the Search Bar to take you there.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Focus the Search Bar (for example with Ctrl-K)
2. Press Shift-Tab

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
The Location Bar should be focused.

Tested with the Firefox default theme.

Easily worked around by clicking on the Location Bar, pressing Tab until focus
cycles back to the Location Bar, or using a shortcut like Ctrl-L, but it's still
annoying.

Consarn it, a search of fixed bugs turns up bug 229100 which this is obviously a
dupe of. It is a bit odd that that bug says that it's fixed in branch and trunk
as of 7/06 yet 0.9.2 which has a modification date of 7/08 doesn't have the fix.

Sorry for the spam. :|
