325078 - Restoring window from dock disables typing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 274631

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[spamjunk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

Sometimes (but often), when a firefox browser window with multiple tabs is restored from the dock after being minimized, it is no longer possible to type input into any text field, such as the location bar or the google search field.  Additionally, the window often doesn't respond to commands (such as command-T) and  two-finger scrolling (on new Powerbook G4s you can scroll by using two fingers on the trackpad) no longer works.  Upon closing all windows, but not quiting the program, and launching a new window these irregularities go away.  Although not a major bug, it does significantly limit functionality as the user is essentially forced to close all open windows in order to return to normal functionality.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open multiple tabs in Firefox browser
2. Minimize window to Dock
3. Restore window

Actual Results:  
Text input no longer responds in any text field in the window, some keyboard commands do not respong, other irregularities occur.

Expected Results:  
Performed without irregularities.

This did not seem to be a problem before updating to 1.5.

I am running Mac OS 10.4.4
