61871 - pressing space bar on non-focused page causes crash

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 59930

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[michael_bourgon]

If you swap between pages in Mozilla, pressing the space bar will cause a crash.
Expected behavior: scroll down one page

How to repeat (I can pretty much repeat this every time):
open a window, go to a web page.  open another window, go to that page as well.
 [Alt]-[Tab] back to the first window.  Press the space bar.

What I think is happening:
focus when you [Alt]-[Tab] in (and this may occur if you chose from the taskbar)
is not set in the window itself.  (I normally cruise with only the personal
toolbar up, but it may not matter.)  When you hit the spacebar, Moz doesn't know
what to do, so it crashes.

Solution: auto set the focus on a window when it becomes the active window.

Reporter: please use a talkback build so that we can get a crash incident. Also 
what build id? Please use a nightly [currently i'd recommend a build from last 
weekend].

Is this a dup of bug 59930 ?

Timeless: I was using a talkback build.  Unfortunately I don't think I added my
username to the crash reporter, but if you do a search on "space" and "crash"
you should get several from IP address 24.4.21.182.  (Sorry I didn't say
anything, the bug submission page said (and showed) my build number.  I was
using a build from this weekend.  I will get it to crash several times this
morning using the most current build, and I'll make sure I set my email address
correctly (this time).  :)

Fabian: yes, I think this is a duplicate of 59930.  It definitely meets the
criteria set by the other people, though I don't know if it's the same bug that
the original submitter had.
