307074 - multiple focus boxes on a single web page (using Deer Park Alpha 2)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 298077

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Payne]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+

If I click on a link it gets a box around it and then I go to the new page. When
I press the back button I can see the box around the link. I consider that my
focus. If I click on another link I end up with two boxes, i.e., the first box
doesn't move to the second one. If, however, I press the Tab key to go to the
next link, the previous focus box is erased and just a single new one appears
around the next link.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




BTW, I don't think that Fast Back is a viable solution to the problem described
in bug 36539. I want my focus box to always be there when I go back, not just
when I only go back fewer than the Fast Back cache size.
