725181 - Event starvation after logging in to b.m.o using new profile

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 724966

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

Description

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start Firefox Nightly using a fresh profile
2. load https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
3. click the "Log In" link
4. enter user name + password and click the "Log in" button


ACTUAL RESULTS
The "do you want Firefox to remember the password..." dialog pops up
but is almost immediately disappears again.  The Search text field has
focus and it's locked there, if I click on the page background it still
has focus, clicking anywhere on the page or in the UI does nothing.
Keyboard events seems to still work though, if I tab to a link and
press Enter the link is opened and that seems to unlock the hang and
everything is back to normal.

This is a regression in the last week or so.

Perhaps the same underlying problem as bug 724966?
