Status: VERIFIED INVALID

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

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2001062815

Not sure what caused the bizarre keyboard focus (wish I did...I will watch my
future actions more agressively :). On the affected window:

- arrow keys do not move page up/down
- Alt+arrows do not navigate forward/backward
- Home/End & Page Up/Page Down keys do not work
- Alt key does not bring focus to File menu
- Ctrl+C does not copy highlighted text
- When I highlight the URL in the address bar and Ctrl+V a URL, a new window
pops up with the "Source of: <whatever URL I was pasting into the address bar>"
- Ctrl+N does not open a new window
* - Ctrl+B navigates backwards
- Ctrl+R refreshes the current page
- Esc does not stop a loading page
- Ctrl+P does not print
- Ctrl+W does not close window
- Ctrl+S does not save
- Ctrl+E does not edit page
- Ctrl+O does not open a location
* - Ctrl+L selects all text on the current page
* - Ctrl+V pops up the source to the current page (unless pasting into address
bar...see point #6)
- Ctrl+B does not Manage Bookmarks
- Ctrl+D does not add a bookmark
- Ctrl+Shift+D does not file a bookmark
- Alt+Home does not go home
- Ctrl+F & Ctrl+G do not find...or again
* - clicking the arrow to "maximize" the formerly minimized Personal Toolbar
removed the toolbar & clicking on View > Show/Hide > Personal Toolbar does not
bring it back, even if the "Personal Toolbar" is checked
* - it seems the above mentioned step also removed My Sidebar, though it is
still checked under the View menu -> unchecking, then rechecking does not bring
it back
- clicking the arrows to "minimize" the Navigation & Menu toolbars work properly
& do not remove the toolbars
- Ctrl++ & Ctrl+- do nothing
- Ctrl+I & Ctrl+U do nothing
- Ctrl+A does not select all text (see Ctrl+L)
- Ctrl+M does not open new message
- Ctrl+Shift+N does not open new blank page to edit
- Ctrl+Q does not exit
- Backspace & Delete do nothing to highlighted text in the address bar
- typing does not work in address bar, but does in other windows (i.e. keyboard
works in window for File > Open Web Location)
- when higlighting the contents of the address bar and typing away furiously,
the only response I notice is an occasional "ghost" cursor to the left of the
highlighted text
- left clicking does not return focus
- minimizing/restoring the window does not return focus
- opening a new window (via File > New Navigator Window) and returning to the
"diseased" window does not return proper behavior
- Edit > Preferences window from diseased window appears to be unaffected
- Microsoft IntelliPoint (& wheel functions) works fine
- using Bosskey to switch to another virtual desktop & back does not return
proper behavior

If I break this disease's gung-fu I will post it here, same if I ever notice
what causes this disease to rear it's head in the future

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce: Once I know, I'll pass that info along...

Expected Results:  Behaved rationally... :)

Thanks for the detailed bug report.

* - Ctrl+L selects all text on the current page
* - Ctrl+B navigates backwards

These make it sound like the context menu is handling all of your keyboard
events.  I was able to reproduce the two problems above by right-clicking on the
page twice quickly (bug 30841).
I'm not sure if bug 30841 is what you hit, though.  I wasn't able to reproduce
any of the following by double-right-clicking:

- When I highlight the URL in the address bar and Ctrl+V a URL, a new window
pops up with the "Source of: <whatever URL I was pasting into the address bar>"
[I see the source of the page I was viewing before trying to paste.]
* - clicking the arrow to "maximize" the formerly minimized Personal Toolbar
removed the toolbar & clicking on View > Show/Hide > Personal Toolbar does not
bring it back, even if the "Personal Toolbar" is checked
* - it seems the above mentioned step also removed My Sidebar, though it is
still checked under the View menu -> unchecking, then rechecking does not bring
it back

sounds like yet another "browser goes keydead" bug probably from double-right 
clicking or something like that. we've got plenty of bugs like this already, and 
since this one doesn't have anything useful in it....invalid.
