419061 - Focus event for page not always called (not called when focus is already in chrome)

Status: REOPENED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

Attachment: testcase

See testcase, the focus event is normally called when the focus is already in the window, but when the focus is in the url bar or the search bar for example, the focus event isn't called.
IE7 always calls the focus event for the page (and shifts focus to the page), which makes more sense to me.

I guess this is sort of opposite of what bug 125282 wants.

And pressing enter, or the 'Go'-button in the url bar does move the focus to the page.

"What action set focus to the page" depends on each product. I think that we should list up the actions which don't work as expected. And we should change the each actions.

E.g., when the reload button pressed. I think that reload button should set focus to the page because it is an operation for the active tab, so, there is no reason that focus should stay in chrome.

I mean that if you think that this is a bug of Core, this should be marked as INVA.
