GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 72422
Keyboard focus lost on page loading
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open http://www.amazon.com/ (or another slowly-loading page with an input field). 2. Switch to another tab. 3. Start typing an address in the Location field. 4. When the search input field shows on the Amazon tab, keyboard focus moves to that field. Now everything I type is typed in the Search field on the invisible tab. I think that keyboard focus should never get lost because of a page loading in the background. If the user types an address, they probably want to finish it, even if another page gets finally loaded. Now I noticed: Keyboard focus is also lost when a page is loaded in the middle of bug typing :) But this time the input doesn't show in the Search field (or anywhere else).
please upgrade to the latest development release 1.1.3 and report back if seeng the same behavior
