53530 - HTTP-EQUIV REFRESH with Open Web Location dialog open loses input focus

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 25684

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[Tom Briggs]

Go to a page with an HTTP-EQUIV REFRESH tag.  Open the Open Web Location dialog,
but don't do anything - wait for the refresh to occur.  The refresh occurs in
the main browser window, but the input focus doesn't come back to the Open Web
Location dialog, nor can you set it back to it manually.  However, as the Open
Web Location dialog is still open, you can't set the input focus back to the
browser window either (or any other open browser windows, for that matter), so
you're totally stuck.  The only way out (that I've been able to find) is to kill
Mozilla outright.

Note that though you can't set the input focus to the Open Web Location dialog
you can drag it around the screen by the title bar. *bogleg*

Reproducible on Windows 2000 with 20000919 as well as 20000920
 nightlies.

Confirmed on NT. I added crash keyword because the browser simply gets stuck and 
you have nothing else to do but kill it from the task list.
