GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 142162
keyboard focus sticks to pages in background tabs if they're loading
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
1. load one site into a tab (I used news.com). let it complete loading. notice that type-ahead link finding works correctly. 2. load a second site (I used cnn.com) into a second tab in the same window. Before it completes loading, use the mouse to click on the first tab and return to the previous site. 3. now, attempting to use type-ahead link finding does not appear to work. pressing the 'enter' key will follow a link on the second site, and one can notice that the tab will load new pages, key presses get recorded in forms on the second site. Correct behavior: the keyboard focus should be in the foreground page/tab, and never remain in a page that is in a background tab.
