411522 - browser window opened from history does not have input focus in linux

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 144217

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[lvm]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071202 SeaMonkey/1.1.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071202 SeaMonkey/1.1.7

When link from history window is opened, browser window with this link pops forward but does not have input focus.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start seamonkey
2. open history (^H)
3. select any link from the history and open it, keyboard or mouse click - it doesn't matter
Actual Results:  
link is opened, browser window is brought to foreground but does not have input focus. Judging by the window border color focus remains with the history window, but actually all keystrokes are lost - neither history nor browser window react to keyboard.

Expected Results:  
seamonkey window should have keyboard input focus

linux-specific, neither windows nor os/2 versions have this bug
gnome, ubunutu

the same thing in reverse happens if you try to bring history window forward again, i.e.

...4. Click on browser window so that it will have focus (history window is still opened)
5. switch to history by pressing ^H or via go-history

history window pops forward but have 'passive' colors, browser have 'active' colors and neither has the focus

similar effect can be observed with bookmarks window

When I click a URL from history, browser gets focus and accepts keystrokes.

Lvm, do you still see this problem on the latest Sm 1.1.9 release from http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ (or on a branch nightly from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8/ )? If you don't, please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME.

I'm not going to try, because I don't trust myself when it comes to handling Sm 1.1.
