The opening of a link in a new tab gives that tab keyboard focus.  This is seen
on pages that use the onload event to focus a certain input field.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.google.com
2. Right-click on the 'Images' link and 'Open Link in New Tab'
3. When the page is done loading, try typing anything on the keyboard.
4. Whatever you type will be in the new tab that was opened up, even though it
was in the background.
