61820 - OS/2 - Browser Frame loses focus

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[achimha]

Using Dec 1st nightly build, I see very often the frame
window of Warpzilla losing focus (background gray instead
of blue). To reproduce this, open a site, go to a link,
open the context menu and press back. After that, it will
lose focus.

This seems to work OK on the latest build.  Please re-test.

Sorry but I have to reopen it. Go to
http://oss.software.ibm.com/developer/opensource/linux/presentations/dprobes/ls3/dprobes.htm

And view the Freelance exported presentation by clicking the right arrow
in the top horizontal frame. Every time you click, Warpzilla will lose the
frame focus.

Thanks!

This problem is still present with the latest builds.

When viewing a webpage with a frameset, click on a
link that will cause the frame that contains it to
be destroyed (such as when the link takes you to a
totally different page, instead of just updating
one of the frames).  The browser will lose focus
and activation.

The reason for this is that the view that has
focus is a child of the outer view that is being
destroyed.  When the outer view is destroyed,
the inner view is still considered by Mozilla to
be the "focusedWindow".  When OS/2 sets focus to
the parent frame in an effort to remove focus
from the window being destroyed, the DOM causes
focus to be put back onto the "focusedWindow".
Then, when the window is freed, OS/2's failsafe
puts focus to the desktop, thereby removing
activation/focus from the browser.

Jeff, does this mean WONTFIX or is this going to be solved? Can't you check for
this condition and prevent PM from removing the focus?

Achim,

that's exactly what we did right now.

Focus doesn't go away from the browser, but it also doesn't go anywhere 
specific.

I'll be checking this fix in this morning.

We have sent a note to the OS/2 focus person (saari) to let them know about this 
XP focus problem.

Excellent news. The reason I'm so picky about the focus things is that I am
a virtual desktop user and whenever a frame window loses focus, the virtual
desktop app determines the frame that had the focus before and in most cases
does an automatic virtual desktop switch which is annoying.
Looking forward to testing this!
