27296 - cannot type text in dialog if mouse is not over it

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[andreww]

Steps to reproduce:
1) start mozilla
2) hit cmd+L brings up open url window
3) start typing text into dialog
4) as you type, move your mouse out of the dialog (no clicking!)

Expected results:
You should be able to continue to type, as you have not clicked to change focus

Actual results:
The keys you hit do not show up in the text field until you move the mouse back 
over the window.

(try pressing a key over and over as you move the mouse in and out of the dialog 
- you will see the text start , stop, then start up again.)

This occurs also in AIM when you hit add group or add buddy.
This also occurs in the prefs window (try the navigator home page url field)

There is a general problem with this on Linux, but on Mac it seems to be limited
to modal dialogs. reassigning to danm as p3 for m14, cc saari, adding beta1 & pp
keywords.  If we leave this in the Mac beta we will be denounced as infidels by
the faithful.

Don't know 'bout Linux. I liked the Mac problem. You know that's been there 
forever... Modal windows were filtering key events based on mouse position.
