380349 - The Focus() script does not work properly.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Myron Pullen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3

The Focus() script does not work properly.  It fails to transfer the focus to the subject window as it is suppose to.  This worked in earlier versions of Firefox.  I can provide a URL to a page with popup windows which display the problem, if this is desired.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create or select several popup windows which contains a Focus() Script.
2. Select a link to one of these popups.
3. Select the original page & then select a link to another popup containing the Focus() Script; the focus will not be transferred to the second popup.
Actual Results:  
The second, & subsequent, popup windows will remain hidden.

Expected Results:  
The second, & subsequent, windows should receive the focus & be visible.

Dunno what this bug has to do with OS Integration, so moving to General for the moment.

Please test with a new firefox profile ( http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager ) to ensure it's not an extension or something interfering with firefox.

Also, can you attach a minimized testcase to show this problem? ('Add an attachment' link above)
