(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; de-AT; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070111 SeaMonkey/1.1

When you open a new browser window on a webpage containing Shockwave Flash it's not possible to enter text in the address bar or in a text box on the newly opened page in the new window.

Sometimes it also does the same thing when opening a mail window.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a web page with a text box like http://www.mozilla.org/start/ as your start page
2. Now open any page containing some Flash material like my provided URL. But any other URL with some shockwave material also works.
3. Now hit Apple+N and a new window will open
4. Try to enter text in the adress bar or the "search mozilla" box.
Actual Results:  
Quite often you can't enter anything in the adress bar or the "search mozilla" box. 

Expected Results:  
You should be able to enter something.

My Flashplayer's version is 9.0 r28, so it's the latest version.

You appear to be using a mozilla1.8-branch Seamonkey nightly.  If so,
this could be a dup of bug 355071.

Please try a current mozilla1.8-branch Seamonkey nightly.

Works in the latest nightly build 20070203.

And yes, the behaviour was pretty much the same as described in bug 355071 in FF.
