Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 385609

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Markus Zilken]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: Windows XP SP2

When placing an iframe inside a panel that pops up on pressing a button in the statusbar, you can't do any keyboard input inside the iframe (e.g. when using google.com as the iframe's target url). Sometimes, after clicking around, it is possible to do keyboard input in the iframe, but then, this isn't possible for the main Firefox window. (for this, noautohide="true" has to be set for the panel)
This happens with OS: Windows XP SP2 on FF3 (and 3.01)
See sample application under URl provided above



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create extension with a Panel containing an iframe with target url (e.g. http://www.google.com). It is recommended to set the panel's noautohide attribute to "true"
2. Let Panel pop up (e.g. via button)
3. Try to write something in google's input field. Not possible.
4. Try to click a link inside the iframe, e.g. "News", now Keyboard input should be possible, but not in the main browser's window anymore.
Actual Results:  
No keyboard input possible inside the iframe situated in the Xul Panel.

Expected Results:  
Keyboard input to both the main Firefox Window and the iframe in the Panel should be possible

Happens with both "noautohide" attribute set to "true" or "false".
