GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 102911
Google seach focus when home page with tabs
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 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.
I don't seem to remember this happening in galeon, don't have it to test atm
I'm absolutely sure it was happening and to have marked as dup tons of bugs about it ;))
Is it still reproducable ? Seem to work for me.
I can still reproduce this [ephy HEAD, moz HEAD + focus patch]. Attached patch fixes it for me.
Created attachment 20051 [details] [review] fix
Nevermind, my patch breaks it if you want to have blank hp and focus in url bar...
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).
Christian : can you still reproduce this ?
No, cannot repro anymore using ephy HEAD with mozilla 1.7.2. I guess we can close this now.
Yeah I can't reproduce either
