740321 - Address bar unresponsive when previously focusing a pdf opened with Acrobat

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Virgil Dicu [:virgil] [QA]]

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0

1. Install Adobe Reader for Linux (version 9.4)
2. Start any Firefox version.
3. Open a pdf file. (e.g. samplepdf.com/sample.pdf)
4. Focus the pdf.
5. Select the address bar.
6. Move the pointer back to the pdf page (without selecting it).
7. Attempt to use the keyboard/enter any character.

While the pointer is moved towards the pdf are, no input is recognized in the address bar. Also occurs with the search bar.

I can also reproduce this with Firefox 4, so this hasn't regressed recently. Opera works fine for me under the same system and same acrobat version.
Java pages work fine with the above steps in Firefox.

Virgil: Where did you get Adobe Reader from? Is it the Adobe shipped version or is it from the Linux repository?

Marcia, yes, sorry, I couldn't reproduce the issue on Windows XP. Should have maked it clear in the description.

Anthony: it's the Adobe shipped version. I was directed to this version while searching for it on Adobe's site.
