Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2007-05-02 00:50:06 UTC 
This is a tracking bug for the following Firefox bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379424

Because of this bug, we're having to use various and sundry hacks to update our position when using form field structural navigation.  The hacks are not reliable, not always available (e.g. push buttons), and sometimes flat out fail to work due to other Firefox bugs (e.g. multi-line entries).

In order to have truly reliable form field structural navigation, we need grabFocus() to remove focus from other items on the page.

This bug has been fixed in Firefox.  I will remove the hacks as part of bug #423427.  Closing as NOTGNOME.
