262695 - Tabbed browsing, fully loaded page in previous tab highjacks focus, does not switch to the loaded tab.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 124750

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Dan Zlotnikov]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

Loading http://gmail.google.com in Tab A, opening Tab B and typing in URL. On
completion, Tab A highjacks input focus (a la IE) and further input goes into
the Gmail address box, but Firefox does not switch view to the loaded tab.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In address bar, put in "gmail.google.com" and hit "enter."
2. Open new tab in the same window, start typing in URL. 
3. Wait for gmail to fully load while you type.
Actual Results:  
Input focus switches to the first tab, view focus does not.

Expected Results:  
Neither focus should be highjacked by the tab on completed load -- this is a
usability bug, not a feature as Microsoft seems to erroneously believe.
(Referring to the nearly identical behaviour of all versions of IE)

This has been fixed in code, and the 1.0 release (or it's candidate builds) will
contain it.
