Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Thomas Rutter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051004 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051004 Firefox/1.4.1

Clicking with the left, middle or right mouse button within a blockquote element
causes a focus ring to appear, where previously it didn't.

I believe this regression occurred some time between the 20051004 and 20051006
(inclusive) 1.8 branch builds of firefox.

Note that the blockquote element can't be 'focused' by tabbing to it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load testcase
2. Click somewhere within the blockquote element (seen here as an search result
indented on the left hand side)
Actual Results:  
Focus ring (a 1px dotted rectangle) appears around the boundary of the
blockquote element.

Expected Results:  
No focus ring.

Other testcase:

Click on the blockquote within the article.

Note: I wasn't sure what component to file this bug in.

Unable to reproduce bug in build 20051006 - must have been short-lived.
