missed a step:

...
5. Scroll down to the bottom and click the "something like this" link.
-> When URL is loaded, on pressing "/" key nothing occurs. A mouse-click anywhere on the webpage refocuses onto the main UI.
6. press "/" key.

Actual Results:  
The toolbar shows up but accepts no input.

(See screenshot. There is no cursor for input.)

Looks like another focus bug, possibly related to bug 354768.

Gary, did this just start happening (i.e., in the 11 Oct build)?  If so, it may well be bug 399740.

I see this in Minefield 2007-09-26-04-trunk (I haven't yet tested
anything older).

It probably isn't.

By the way, this isn't really an FAYT bug:  You can't type into _any_
of the textfields in the window you get by clicking on the "something
like this" link.

It's really a focus bug.

I've confirmed that this bug is a focus bug -- it's fixed by my patch
for bug 403232 (attachment 290742 [details] [diff] [review]).

Here's a tryserver build (of Minefield), made using that patch.

Fixed by patch for bug 403232, which just landed on trunk.

Comment 9

[Steven Michaud [:smichaud] (Retired)]

(Following up comment #8)

The first time I landed a patch for bug 403232, I had to back it out
because of Mochitest failures.  I've just landed another version of
the patch, which had no problems.
