7001 - focus events don't handle embedded webshells

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P1)

Description

[buster]

While implementing ender-backed text controls, I noticed that I don't get focus
change notifications when switching between text controls.  Each ender text
control has it's own webshell, very similar to IFRAME.  Talked to Tom about
this, he says it's a known problem. Submitting this bug as a nag to get a fix in
for M7.

Tom, can I get an update on any progress on this bug?  Still on target for M8?

buster comment:
7001 is not worth holding up M8 over.  make it an early M9 deliverable and I'm
happy.

7595 is blocked on this bug.  OnChange notifications are triggered by focus
and blur events.  If I don't get focus and blur, I can't fire OnChange
notifications.  We can't enable GFX text widgets until we can get this solved.
added [BLOCKER] to summary.

I believe we are past the blocker phase on this.  I know I still have a couple
of issues to fix here for the more subtle forms of focus shifting (tab vs
click) but I won't hit them for M9. Removing blocker status and moving to M10.

Hey Rod, the remaining part of this was left open because I knew we didn't deal
correctly with focus from js, focus from shifting, etc. with the new gfx text
fields.  If you've finished working on that and that all works you can mark
this fixed.
