312394 - Download manager breaks cursor/text edit behaviour (resembles clipboard bug)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 312227

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[bzgimpson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1

Having the download manager open leads to what looks like a non-responsive
clipboard and an inability to manipulate the cursor or edit text throughout the
current browser window until the browser window is unfocused and focused again
(e.g. by minimising).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Download manager (either by saving something or CTRL-J)
2. Navigate to www.mozilla.org, right click on an image or link and "Save As..."
3. Click in the address bar and type something, note that dragging over to
select with the mouse works, but copying *appears* to fail.
4. Attempt to move cursor with left/right arrow keys, or home/end. Hold shift
and repeat to see part of the webpage selected instead. The location for
keyboard selection/cut and paste appears completely independent of the cursor.
Text editing is impossible in ALL tabs until the browser window is un- and
re-focused.
Actual Results:  
As above.

Expected Results:  
Text edit behaviour should be consistent.

This bug is also present in the current nightly build (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051013 Firefox/1.6a1). It may also be
related to failures of the context menu's "Save As..." options under similar
conditions which were what I was actually trying to pin down when I came across it.
