92879 - textbox.select() still grabs focus from other mozilla windows

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

textbox.select() brings the window that contains the textbox to the front. 
Hyatt fixed a similar problem for textbox.focus() in bug 41813, so I'm giving
this bug to him.

This bug is visible at aj.com: loading aj.com in one window while another window
is focused causes the aj.com window to jump in front.

r=dbaron if you move the declaration of |focusController| to the line before
where you use it.

I find it disconcerting that this fix requires adding code rather than removing 
it.  Shouldn't the C++ code have specifically ask for the window to gain focus 
for the window to gain focus?
