build from 3/9/01, opt bits. some pages work ok, but washpost.com seems to do
something horrid to the focus code.

This appears to be a duplicate:
bug 67977 - Focus lost after clicking link (causing arrow keys/space to not
scroll until clicking on new page)

Seeing a similar problem on Linux (build ID 2001032008).  I click in the content
area of the browser and the up/down arrows work to scroll the page.  If I click
on a link, I have to re-select the content area to get the up/down arrows to
work on the newly loaded page.  This used to work just fine in Mozilla 0.7...
