456145 - Closing a background tab with space moves focus to a dead view

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Camino Graveyard :: Accessibility, defect)

Description

[Smokey Ardisson (offline for a while; not following bugs - do not email)]

STR:

0) Have two or more tabs present and FKA active
1) Tab to an inactive tab's close button
2) Press space
3) Press tab again

ER: Focus on the content area of the active tab
AR: Focus in a dead view that can't be tabbed out of

Cmd-L will of course focus the location bar, at which point you can around the working loop as expected.

keyDown: in BrowserTabBarView.mm has some code to handle moving (restoring) focus for the overflow buttons; probably this is where we need to fix this (and bug 456136, if we fix it)?

I think I am affected by this one too. If I close a tab, I can see the content of a tab I closed earlier and if I restart Firefox, then the tab in question come back to hunt me and I can't really close it, it will pop again at next start.

Emmanuel, this is a Camino bug. If you experience something similar with Firefox, please file a new bug in the Firefox component. Thank you.
