647644 - Esc to close Find bar when textarea originally had focus sets focus on document, not textarea

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[philippe (part-time)]

(as mentioned on IRC)

STR - on any page with a textarea
1. Focus a textarea, start filling it with text or editing existing text (e.g. wiki articles)
2. Cmd-F to focus Find bar, search for some string (inside textarea)
3. press Esc to close Find bar

AR: focus is now set on the document / page, even if the found string is inside the textarea
ER: focus is set on / returned to the textarea

This works fine with Camino 2.0.7, but never worked correctly with any Gecko 1.9.2 based Camino. This is (probably) due to the changes in focus handling from bug 178324.

I assume this is a Gecko bug, but we ought to try and at least look at our code and make sure we're not doing something wrong in the new world.
