78440 - Closing sidebar with F9 key does not refocus on content area

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect, P1)

Description

[Samir Gehani]

When one opens the sidebar with F9, the idebar default panel opened should
receive focus.  When one closes the sidebar with F9 the content area should
receive focus.  Currently when one closes the sidebar with F9 the window content
area doesn't receive focus so key board navigation is not possible until the
user clicks in the content area.

Spun off issue from bug 58250.  Inheriting priority and milestone from bug 58250
since we have a fix as a side-effect of investigating bug 58250.

pchen, please r.
alecf, please sr.

Thanks.

Are you aware of bug 78218? Since you've got a patch here, does this make bug
78218 a dup of this one?
