368322 - Missing focus event on chrome when window activated

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[parente]

Firefox used to fire a focus event for the chrome object that used to have focus when a Firefox window is restored, activated for the first time, or re-activated. Now, no focus event is fired. A focus event *is* fired if some control in a document last had focus (e.g. document focus followed by link focus), but not if a chrome object had focus (e.g. address bar).

Could someone please spec out what the actual sequence of focus events should be when either a chrome or document accessible has focus and one of the following occurs:

1) The FF window is activated for the first time
2) The FF window is re-activated
3) The FF window is restored
4) An entire document reloads
5) A menu floater is activated (e.g. menu bar menu, popup menu)
6) A tooltip is displayed

It's getting really hard to tell what's a regression and what is an intended change. Please document so we can report bugs appropriately and have a solid plan of how to script Firefox in LSR.

Dupe of bug 349709?

Is this still a bug in the 4/10 bug? We just fixed a bunch of focus bugs at once.

Peter Parente says this is fixed from one of our recent focus bug fixes.
