84788 - Search tab stealing focus from URL bar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 76621

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

Description

[marlon bishop]

If i open a new window, and begin typing into the URL bar, the search tab if
active, steals focus away from the URL box in the middle of your URL typing.

to reproduce:

1) open sidebar and select "search" tab, close sidebar.
2) create a new window and begin immediately typing your desired URL which
should default to the URL field.  
3) if you typed quick enough you might have the chance to get the URL all in,
but if not, it flushed the remaining URL typage to the search field of the
Search tab
4) not nice
