31076 - Popup->Open in new window->Original window lost focus

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 9701

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[Gwyn Judd]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; N; Linux 2.2.14 ppc; en-US; m14)
BuildID:    2000030215

When you select "Open Link in New Window" from a popup when you right click on a
link, when you go back to the original window it has lost focus. What I mean by
this is that although you can control the window with the mouse, it no longer
responds to the keyboard until you click in the content area. ie. scrolling up
and down with the arrow keys no longer works.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click any link
2. Select "Open in new window"
3. Go back to the original window (without clicking on it...do it with alt-tab
or whatever)
4. Use the arrow keys to scroll up and down	


Actual Results:  The window wont respond to the keys	

Expected Results:  The window should be able to scroll up and down with the keys
as it has focus	

Sorry about adding YAPB (Yet Another Popup bug) :)
