I'm using Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 2). After visiting the page
http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/index.html , I tried switching between the
open tabs by clicking on them, but it wouldn't work unless I used Ctrl + T to
switch between them

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open about 6-7 websites in different tabs.
2.Open http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/index.html in a new tab.
3.Try switching between the open tabs by clicking on them by clicking on them.
It doesn't work unless Ctrl + T is used

Actual Results:  
Tabs wouldn't switch unless Ctrl + T was used

Expected Results:  
I should have been able to switch between tabs

Confirmed (although switching is done with ctrl-pageup/pagedown, not ctrl-T).

It's smtg Java-related.

WFM in trunk and branch.
Enabled Java, went to http://www.nu.nl/ , opened 7 links in new tabs and then
loaded http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/index.html in a new tab.

Humm, I'm getting the same behavior in the nightly for Deer Park 1.6a1...

after a nudge from Wayne Mery, i'll note that this has been working fine in the last month or two's nightly builds.

I have experienced this bug again recently, using builds through Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1b2) Gecko/20060912 BonEcho/2.0b2.

Ctrl-Tab works, but clicking on the tab doesn't.  This bug has something to do with pages that contain Java applets breaking tab-switching by clicking on them.

I will try out the new RC, and report what I find back, though I doubt anything has been magically fixed since a week ago.
