32349 - Main pane loses focus on open-in-new-window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[ltskinol]

Browse to a page and select inside the browser window.  The keyboard arrow
keys work.

Now right-click on a link and select Open in New Window.  When the new
window comes up, minimize it.  Bring the original window back into focus
with the window manager (I use auto-raise and auto-focus, but clicking
on the title bar is equivalent).  Now something other than the main pane
has the focus, as the arrow keys no longer work, and you have to re-click
in the main pane to get the arrow keys to work.  This makes it harder
to use Open in New Window, because you have to keep going back and
clicking in the main pane to scroll to the next link.

Dupe of Bug 9701. [e-mail] - I don't know what version you were 
using, but did you read the release notes for M14?

I re-read the release notes again tonight, and don't see it.  Sorry.

The report was against nightly build 2000031716, but I've seen this
problem for as long as I can remember.  Certainly since M13.  Sorry
for not including that information.

If I read it right, bug 9701 lists this as fixed as of mid February.
Since I'm using a newer build than that, I'd like to re-open this bug.
Please let me know if I'm on drugs.

This does look different from 9701 and is not working properly in recent 
nightly builds under NT Reopening bug.  Changing OS to all and sending to evant 
handling for a look.

Knowing where focus should be is saari's domain.

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

[e-mail] - are you still seeing this problem on recent builds of 
Mozilla? Don't worry, I wont dupe it again ;-)

mass-moving all bugs to m21 that are not dofood+, or nsbeta2+

Context menus need to stop taking focus, this is messing up other things 
(commands) that look for the focused item.

Mass update:  changing qacontact to [e-mail]

Comment 12

[Peter Trudelle]

nsbeta3-, wouldn't hold for this particular symptom, but should be fixed as part
of fix for other more serious (plussed) bugs.

Comment 13

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

Probably the same cause as bug 33844
bug 50509 may be related as well (though that doesn't involve context menus)

Comment 14

[Loco]

Updating QA Contact.

Comment 15

[saari (gone)]

Target Mozilla 1.0

Comment 16

[Loco]

Changing Status for my reference.  Was NSBETA3-.  Anyone think this 
should be renominated?

Comment 17

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

Reassigning QA Contact for all open and unverified bugs previously under Lorca's
care to Gerardo as per phone conversation this morning.
