264709 - Location bar has not focus when using openurl(, new-window)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: X-remote, defect)

Description

[Felix Wiemann]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041017 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041017 Firefox/0.10.1

When opening a new window using 'openurl(, new-window)' as a remote command, the
location bar does not have the focus.  This is a little bit annoying for
keyboard users.

Workaround: Use 'openurl(about:blank, new-window)'

Reproducible: Always

When do you use the command 'openurl(, new-window)' ? In a website that makes
popups? Not sure I understand the user scenario here.

The description of this bug is not clear. I'm about ready to close it unless I
see that this is really a problem.

Comment 2

[Felix Wiemann]

It's needed when opening a new empty window from a script.  Like this:

gnome-moz-remote --remote='openurl(, new-window)'

Comment 3

[Aaron Leventhal]

This should be filed in bugzilla.gnome.org, I think.

Let's check with the OS integration component and see.

Comment 4

[Aaron Leventhal]

Timeless agrees, file this in Gnome's bugzilla.

No, now he says to check and see if it's a bug in xremote.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

This bug has been automatically resolved after a period of inactivity (see above

This bug is still present in 1.0.7.  It is reproducible with:

mozilla-xremote-client 'openurl(, new-window)'  # no focus (wrong)

mozilla-xremote-client 'openurl(about:blank, new-window)'  # focus (right)

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

Probably a change in assignee, and not just in product/component, would have been helpful.

Comment 10

[Felix Wiemann]

This bug is probably obsolete because the behavior changed:

$ firefox -remote 'openurl(, new-window)'
Error: Failed to send command: 500 command not parseable

(Closing and marking as invalid.)
