GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 159348
Form fields lose focus when content in other tabs are refreshed
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Open two web pages in tabs: *) One page that refreshes itself, maybe once a minute *) One page where you need to fill out a form, like a web mail site Start typing in the form. When the other page refreshes itself, the form loses focus and nothing more is entered into the form until you click on it. When you have several tabs with refreshing pages, possibly at different intervals, this becomes very annoying. I am no typist, I look at my fingers while I write, so I constantly have to retype some text each time focus is lost.
Yes, we know :-/ That is our all time favorite Mozilla bug ;) We hope we now have a working workaround, it should be included in 1.3.19 once released. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 72125 ***
