With today's build the new window begins life in front of the older one, gets 
sent behind, and then resurfaces, to end up correctly in front. I'm seeing a lot 
of focus events flying around like gnats. But anyway, this bug is not exactly 
broken right now, though something is still wrong.

I'm getting a similar problem with Adobe Acrobat. A java applet is loading up a
PDF, which gets passed to Acrobat. Acrobat opens within the original browser
window, but because the browser window is not currently at the front (the Java
applet is), you never see the PDF file unless you know to look at the browser
window.

That problem cause on the history function!

The link loads the page:
http://www.rabobank.nl/data/custom/custom_openwin1300.htm?node_id=1300
and this page open the new window:

window.open('https://bankieren.rabobank.nl/rabo/login.htm?verzoek=REKSAL&Node_ID=1300',
'betalen')

and do then the

history.back()

The history back function then do a the refocusing of the old window.

I testify that this is a valid bug.  I would like it to be fixed.

Checked with builds made this morning; no problems on Linux (Redhat/Sawfish), 
Win2k or Mac. Woo hoo! A lot of good work on initial focus has gone in recently. 
Seems like we picked up a fix for this one somewhere along the line, too.
