631485 - [QAC generated] Tab-modal dialog loses focus after tab switch

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Michal Čaplygin [:myf]]

Steps to Reproduce
---------------------------------------
1. javascript:void alert('Switch to other tab, return back, and try to close me with keyboard.');
2. Switch to other tab.
3. Return back.
4. Try to close or even focus dialg with keyboard.

What should have happened:
---------------------------------------
Focus is on the "OK" button.
Pressing escape closes dialog.
Pressing tab moves focus to other (top-level) control (awesomebar/searchbar…).

What actually happened:
----------------------------------------
Focus is trapped somewhere and cannot be moved with tab key.
Escape does nothing.
The only way to navigate back to the dialog is to focus other (top-level) control (eg. awesomebar with alt+d) and tab from there.

You are right, what I reported does not seemingly happen in vanilla installation with default settings.
But it somehow happens with "<b>Tabs on top</b>" UI layout (being the only non-default setting).
I'll investigate it further and bring more precise report soon.

I did a quick test, with vanilla profile of today's minefield, and here are results:

Windows XP sp3
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b12pre) Gecko/20110214 Firefox/4.0b12pre

Conditions: Minefield with clean profile, first run state (remembered trough "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting)
= two tabs opened ( http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/prerelease.html and about:home )
firefox.exe -no-remote -profile ".\profile_clean"


steps:

1) In first tab entred above "javascript:..." URL and pressed ENTER
2) pressed CTRL + TAB twice

result:

1) Focus lost
3) Escape key does nothing

further steps:

1) pressing TAB has no visual effect until FOURTH stroke : focus on active tab
2) next TAB (5): this one brings focus to Awesomebar
3) next TAB (6): Search Bar
4) next TAB (7): ? (probably page; pressing ESCAPE now would close the dialogue)
5) next TAB (8): "OK" button, finally

So no need to reorganize the UI to reproduce this behaviour.

Is the problem in the current bug resolved by bug 638352 or does it still exist?

Yup, didn't manage to reproduce with 20110808 Firefox/8.0a1. Made few alert use-cases and focus remained where it should. Good work! :] And sorry for late response.
