94420 - cursor delay on focus in location bar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 59546

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[bht237]

The blinking of the location bar cursor is not correctly synchronised with the
focus event timing.

How to reproduce:

1. Open a new blank window (preferences must be set accordingly)
   The location bar has focus (otherwise - give focus to the location bar)
2. Press [Tab]
   Focus is lost (expected)
3. Press [Shift+Tab]
   Focus is still lost (error, but not subject of this bug)
4. Press [Shift+Tab] again
   Focus is restored

The cursor appears only after its first blinking time interval.
It should immediately start appearing as a solid bar and stay there for one
period and only THEN turn off .. and on again.
Shall I explain how an automotive indicator light works? I hope not.

If a user is a moderately fast typist and attempts to get into the location bar
from within a form etc as usual, then there is definitely no indication as to
when the location bar has focus or not.

Hey, this is so stupid, I hope someone takes this seriously and fixes it really
soon.

Note: the idea of this bug is the cursor delay onfocus in location bar.  Spun
off of bug 94377.
