60485 - text of location entry in navigation toolbar disappears

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 53549

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

Description

[Joe Yandle]

Whenever I open a URL in a new window using the middle mouse button, the
location entry in the navigation toolbar receives keyboard focus.  If I then
hit the down arrow key (or the up, but not left/right), the text disappears
from the entry.  This does not occur if I open the window in any other way,
or if I enter the location manually or from a bookmark.

This has happened on all recent nightly builds for the last week, including
the current latest (build id: 2000111708).  I'm using the
mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz tarball on a redhat-6.2 box with helix gnome,
running kernel 2.2.16.

This is especially annoying since my first instict upon opening a new page is
to scroll down with the keyboard ;)

Verified, this is a duplicate of bug 53549 "open link in new window gives focus
to the wrong widget."
