320427 - Cannot switch tabs in a XUL tabbox when the location bar has focus

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 315434

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Tim Martin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

It seems that when a XUL app loses focus, at least to the location bar, it becomes impossible to switch tabs in a tabbox until the app gains focus again.  This wasn't a problem in Firefox 1.0.X.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a XUL file with a tabbox in it
2. Focus the URL bar (by clicking on it, for example)
3. Attempt to switch tabs with the mouse


Actual Results:  
The tabbox does not switch, and a javascript error is generated.

Expected Results:  
The tabbox should switch tabs

The javascript console shows: 
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Security error"  code: "1000" nsresult: "0x805303e8 (NS_ERROR_DOM_SECURITY_ERR)"  location: "chrome://global/content/bindings/tabbox.xml Line: 344"]"
