When closing a tab, either with the keyboard (Ctrl+W) or by clicking the red X
at the right edge of the tab strip, the keyboard shortcut for scrolling down
(Space) no longer works.

1. Open two tabs. Verify that Space scrolls down
2. Close one of the tabs. Try to scroll with Space... doesn't work.
3. Focus the page with the mouse and you can scroll using Space again.

Same problem occurs for me. Very irritating, especially for laptop users.

Changing version since this occurs on the trunk as well.

This must be related to a focus problem, where the tab bar is focused instead of
the actual tab contents, after another tab is closed.

Sounds similar to bug 254056. Dupe?
I think this is a dupe, yes.
