Description Rob Clews 2003-01-09 08:56:53 UTC 
If you have google as your home page and you open a new tab the search box
does not get focus (By the JavaScript), nor can you focus it with the
mouse. If you switch to another tab and back again then it gets the focus
correctly.

This does not happen if you open a new tab and then goto google, nor does
it happen when having google as the home page and opening a new window.

Very very old mozilla bug. Need to look at it at some point.
Comment 2 Rob Clews 2003-01-09 09:22:52 UTC 
I don't seem to remember this happening in galeon, don't have it to
test atm
Comment 3 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2003-01-09 13:07:41 UTC 
I'm absolutely sure it was happening and to have marked as dup tons of
bugs about it ;))
Comment 4 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2003-06-18 18:27:08 UTC 
Is it still reproducable ? Seem to work for me.
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2003-09-18 14:52:27 UTC 
I can still reproduce this [ephy HEAD, moz HEAD + focus patch].

Attached patch fixes it for me.

Comment 7 Christian Persch 2003-09-18 16:14:33 UTC 
Nevermind, my patch breaks it if you want to have blank hp and focus
in url bar...
Comment 8 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2003-09-18 16:19:07 UTC 
Can you explain what exactly are you trying to fix ? :)
The intended behavior is to give focus to the page when the user
explicitly requested a page load, for example from location or from
context menu, to leave it in the location bar when the user just
opened a window (or when another tab finish loading but that's
obivously a bug).
Comment 9 Vincent Noel 2004-08-09 21:39:13 UTC 
Christian : can you still reproduce this ?
Comment 10 Christian Persch 2004-08-09 21:54:25 UTC 
No, cannot repro anymore using ephy HEAD with mozilla 1.7.2. I guess we can
close this now.
Comment 11 Rob Clews 2004-08-10 12:18:09 UTC 
Yeah I can't reproduce either
