(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Josh Aas]

When I go to this page and the search field is given focus by default I can't type anything or use keyboard commands:

https://ldap.mozilla.org/phonebook/#search/

Sorry, this isn't a URL that everyone can access.

I tested only on Mac OS X using a trunk nightly build and Firefox 3.5.5. I can't reproduce in 3.5.5.

Comment 2

Actually, what I thought was Firefox 3.5.5 was Firefox 3.6b1, so I haven't tested on 3.5.5 and it is Firefox 3.6b1 I can't repro in.

Repro:
Firefox 3.5.5: No
Firefox 3.6 nightly: No
Today's trunk nightly: Yes

This is trunk only.

This is also happening to me a lot on macworld.com but not every time and when it happens I can't tell where focus is supposed to be.

Happens on both OS X and Windows (testing with today's Minefield nightly).

And on Linux.
