334030 - <a href="#..."> does not focus target anchor element

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 308064

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

Description

[Kamil Burzynski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pl; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060320 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pl; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060320 Firefox/1.5.0.1

<a href="#..."> should focus target anchor element.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.ztpnet.pl/~nopik/a006.html
2. Click on left AAA link

Actual Results:  
Focus is moved to right AAA link, but it is not drawn properly (TAB key works ok)

Expected Results:  
Focus should be drawn around destination anchor.

This was working in Mozilla 1.7.x.

The difference is here: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/layout/base/nsPresShell.cpp#4090
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.7/source/layout/html/base/src/nsPresShell.cpp#4055

Adding MoveFocusToCaret() call fixes the problem.

PS. Also, the while() loop at http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/layout/base/nsPresShell.cpp#4056 stops pref("layout.selectanchor"); from working

I don't recall if this is intentional or not. Someone will have to dig through the old bugs and see what we were doing.
