Page autoreload steals focus from form in other window
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
If a page autoreloads in one window while typing away in a form in another, the autoreload steals focus from the form element, requiring the user to click on the form again to reactivate it. (Not sure if this applies to separate tabs.) As an example page, http://telkku.com/ exhibits this behaviour for me with any form (including this bug report form; in fact, it just happened while I was typing the first paragraph.
