407852 - Location bar not always focused properly after opening a new tab

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect, P4)

Description

[Majken Connor [:Kensie]]

a few times a day if I hit ctrl+t and start typing, nothing shows up in the location bar, even though the cursor is flashing in it.  Have to click in the bar to fix the focus, hitting ctrl+l doesn't work (haven't tried tab and shift+tab, will do that next time this happens).

Not sure what's common about the times when this happens, I *think* it's mostly when minefield has to scroll through a lot of tabs to show the new one, and if I type really soon after hitting ctrl+t.  So far haven't been able to reproduce on command.

I *think* this might be related to Bug 393244, which I was also hitting before it was fixed. Just a guess though.

I've seen this as well a few times.  Need better STR and a regression window though.

bah, 3 dupes, I swear I took a good look.

fwiw, I've never hit this issue on branch.

Not blocking on this bug for final ship. Would take a safe enough patch if one comes through.

I see this every 10-20 days.
It happened now when not opening a new tab, but a new window.
It might be related to "pressing keys too quickly":
accidentally I pressed ctrl-B+N, so a new window was opened and the bookmarks sidebar appeared in both old and new window.

Another detail:
The caret blinks in the location bar but I can not type (as others reported), but if I press F6, the focus goes to the location bar icon, not to the page or the location bar, as it usually does on F6.

David, do you still see this with 3.6 or 4.0 beta?

David reports not seeing this.
I can't reproduce.
