259268 - focus lost to undisplayed tab

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 245502

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

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

If the new tab is opened and contains auto-focus on a text field (for example
with  onload="document.login_form.login.focus();") - if you go to google toolbar
before that tab is loaded and focus on its input field, it looses focus to the
new tab which can be undisplayed. 

More information:
* configuration - Google toolbar, Super DragAndGo 0.2.3 (that allows dragging a
link and opening it in a new tab without losing a focus on the current tab)
* open a webpage that contains link to a web page that focuses the input on some
text field (such as yahoo.com and its mail section). If using www.yahoo.com,
make sure that it will ask for a password and not use a cookie. You can also
create very simple web page with a single text box and onload() function that
focuses there. However, in this case (this page is local), you won't have time
to go to the Google toolbar before the new tab is completely loaded.
* follow the steps to reproduce

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. drag link to page with autofocus on text field
2. before that page is completely loaded, click the "search" text field on
Google bar
3. wait for the new tab to load
4. start inputting text
Actual Results:  
The text is shown in the text box of the new tab (which is not in focus)

Expected Results:  
Feed the text to the Googlbar field
