626875 - Firefox 4.0b9 will for unknown reason loose text focus on input boxes, such as the Facebook text chat, where I am left unable to type without opening a new tab, or switching back and forth between them... Reclicking the text box does not fix the problem.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 626016

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Austin Farmer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b9) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b9) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b9

For example:

Facebook chat has a box which requires user input... After a while, somehow the browser looses focus, but you can't refocus the text pointer without switching tabs, opening tabs, or restarting the browser. I have also tested the beta on a Windows XP Machine, and it does the same thing, but not all the time...

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Signup for or Login to Facebook (If Necessary)
2.Open Facebook Chat, or Be sent an instant message (Whichever occurs first)
3.Start a normal conversation
4.Talk just like you would in any other browser, continue conversation until text input becomes 'unfocused'
Actual Results:  
I have to open a new tab to allow me to begin typing again, usually stops midstream.

Expected Results:  
Should have allowed me to continue typing.

Standard Theme, Running an unmodded Emachines E725 with a T4400 Intel Pentium mobile processor. Have tested on multiple systems.

its not that only textbox in facebook losses focus
text boxes in whole browser loses focus only if chat window is open
if the chat window is closed than no problem
