260302 - when opening multiple tabs with input fields, sometimes, when a new tab has just finished loading, the focus gets switched to its input fields, causing texts to appear at the wrong places

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 124750

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Alexandre Passos]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040714

When using multiple tabs and password manager in one (or more) of them, right at
the moment the password manager 'types' the password, the cursor focus is
temporarily switched to the other window. Suppose that, at the time it happens,
you are typing some text. Anything you type in one tab might show up at the
username field on the other tab, thus breaking the login if the user is not careful

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open, in one tab, a chat window (or any other where you type often)
2. In another tab, start loading a heavy page that asks for a password handled
by password manager
3. Start typing in the other tab until the password requiring page is loaded
(you might notice because some of the text you type will *not* appear)
4. Switch to the other tab, and, there, at one of the field, you can see the
text you were typing at the other tab

Actual Results:  
I had, in one tab, some text with a part of it missing, and, in the other, the
login/password fields with undesired text

Expected Results:  
It should keep the text to its intended destination, not the other tab.
