35358 - window focus problems with redirected urls

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

I've already talked about this with Travis. This is just a bug to track it.

If you click on a link (say in the mail window) that gets redirected to another
window (like the browser), the browser window is no longer getting focus.

This is because nsWebShell::SetFocus is no longer implemented by the docshell.

Here is Travis' comments summarizing what needs done:
The problem is that code was stolen from the webShell and mWindow there was
the native widget that webShell was creating.  Neither docShell nor WebShell
actually create a native widget anymore.  The reality is the focus should be
set on the content viewer the docShell holds, but the content viewer doesn't
have an interface for setting the focus.  But that would be easy enough to
add, though when I start thinking about the content viewer not eventually
having any native widgets I wonder where the focus is actually suppose to be
set.  Probably on the view system?  Not sure.  I'll take a look at actually
getting that function implemented though.
