dom.disable_window_move_resize seems to break the following case in gmail: 1. click on a message 2. tab into a link in the message 3. click on "Return to Inbox" With the pref set to true, hitting tab continues to tab through the now-undisplayed message. With it set to false, it tabs through the inbox page as expected. This became a problem by default when bug 299424 landed (8/9/2005).
This seems like a fairly noticable usability problem.
Flags: blocking1.8b4?
We either need to revert the pref or fix it (since this behaviour shouldn't be touched by this pref, afaict).

A testcase would be helpful.

bryner, would you be able to provide a minimal test case so that we can reproduce and debug? thanks. /cb

I don't have the time right now to narrow down a testcase... it should be fairly easy to set a breakpoint where one of these DOM calls is blocked though and see what's happening. (if anyone needs a gmail invite for debugging this, let me know)
This looks like bug 300453
