298363 - Typeahead fails in frames

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 260041

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Sam Mefford]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When I visit http://www.bagism.com/frameshop/ with Mozilla 1.7.2 (Mozilla/5.0
(Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803), I can type
"resize" then hit [enter] to navigate to the matched link.  Doing the same in
firefox does not work.  While it correctly finds and highlights the link,
hitting [enter] does not navigate to the link as it should according to
http://www.mozilla.org/access/type-ahead/ (10th bullet, 1st sub-bullet).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
see Details

Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
navigate to the link

For me this is a major feature broken.  I was ready to switch from mozilla to
firefox, but without typeahead working properly on all my sites, I'm not ready
to switch.  I develop all day on an application that has frames, and I'm used to
navigating with typeahead, so I can't lose that.
