68608 - HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" causes focus switch (out of textfield)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 28467

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

Reproducible: Not consistently

Reproduce:
1. Open page with automatic reload (<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="...">),
like a Lycos page (*grumble*), or a webcam.
2. Open Bugzilla page
3. Type

Actual result:
As soon as the page in the background reloads (automatically), the textfield
loses focus and my input is lost. I need to manually click on the textfield.
Repeat for each reload. *annoy*

Expected result:
Don't care about the background.

Additional comments:
Major bug. Regression (I never saw that in Mozilla 0.6).

This looks like a duplicate of bug 28467.

Comment 2

[Kathleen :Brade]

uh.... certainly not a duplicate of that bug; typo?

Ben--can you add a url above or attach a sample html page?
Ben--also, please clarify, for steps 1 and 2, are those in *different* browser 
windows or ???

Bug 53948 describes a similar focus problem with textboxes, but not the
data-loss problem. 

The other bug I mentioned in my earlier comment (I think) describes a problem
with windows in the background grabbing focus when they finish loading. Maybe
not exactly the same problem as this bug.

<http://www.lycos.com>, <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org> :-)

> steps 1 and 2, are those in *different* browser windows

yes.

The on end load notification focuses a page and pulls it to the front. We have
bugs on that, and this is a dup of those.

saari, you mean bug 28467? I know that bug - it exists in Mozilla 0.6, too.
This bug, however, I have never seen in Mozilla 0.6 (which I use since 3 months
now).

I'm pretty certain it is the same bug. It is likely that moz 0.6 wasn't firing
the onload handler correctly and we wern't hitting this. The root problem is
still that we're focusing the page upon load completion unconditionally (even
when it is in the background).

If you say so...

Please do not verify before the other bug isn't fixed.
