GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 306458
tab focus gets lost
Last modified: 2005-06-15 22:02:56 UTC
Distribution/Version: Fedora development 1. have at least 2 open tabs where one updates itself via Javascript and the other has an input box. 2. type in something in the tab with the input box Result: the input goes in the tab where Javascript updates the page. I consider this as a hugh security risk. I cam across this major bug a year ago or so and reported it somewhere. i don't find it now, but back then I was told this was a problem of Mozilla/Gecko. Fact is, that Firefox does not have THAT problem. As tabs are different in Epiphany as in Mozilla or Firefox I would suggest that Epiphany develops a solution for that problem. I could imagine that an evil site uses this function to capture passwords etc. As this problem is the same since a year or so I am a bit concerned about development of Epiphany!?
