Some websites (such as Google) automatically set focus to the text input box. You can give focus to the page by pressing or shift-Tab multiple times. I propose using a one-key shortcut for this, such as Escape. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: 1. Go to http://www.google.com/ 2. Press Tab or shift-Tab until the page is focused 3. Type 'About<CR> to navigate to the "About Google" page Expected Results: 1. Go to http://www.google.com/ 2. Press Escape once 3. Type 'About<CR> to navigate to the "About Google" page
Probably easiest to just use Ctrl+F instead.
Severity: normal → S3
