951648 - Findbar remembers previously focused elements and tries to focus them when opening+closing findbar

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect, P5)

Description

[Simon Lindholm]

STR #1:
1. Open http://xkcd.com.
2. Open the findbar through Ctrl+F and search for "blag", then press escape. A link will receive focus.
3. Click outside the link to remove focus from it.
4. Open the findbar again with Ctrl+F and press escape -> the same link will get focused again.

STR #2 (how I actually noticed this):
1. Open http://xkcd.com.
2. Open the quickfind bar by pressing /, and type "blag". Press escape. A link will receive focus.
3. Navigate to another page, e.g. by clicking the "previous" button.
4. Open the quickfind bar again by pressing /, and press escape to hide it.
5. Press / again -> it doesn't work, because focus is given to an element in the previous document.

I guess the remembered element should be set to null when findbar hides or so.
