STR: 1. Open the debugger 2. Click in the source editor (where script source is shown) so it is focused 3. Press Cmd-F (on Mac, or the appropriate shortcut for your OS) to search the current file ER: A "#" character is added to the search input and the input is focused so you can type there immediately. AR: A "#" character is still added to the input, but it is not focused, so you have to click into the input manually. I've seen some CodeMirror bugs fly by lately, possibly related. I think it's a recent regression.

Additional data from bug 1212178: "With the source focussed, pressing Ctrl+F doesn't focus the search box. It does add # though. Ctrl+Alt+F, Ctrl+D also don't, but Ctrl+L, Ctrl+Alt+V and Ctrl+P do."

I can confirm: no focus, does add the #.

Here is the sequence of events that happens in CM 5.7 when you press a key: 1. CM's `onKeyDown` is called 2. This method does the following early on: cm.curOp.focus = activeElt(); 3. It calls into `handleKeyBinding` 4. For Cmd-F, `handleKeyBinding` eventually triggers the debugger to focus its custom search field via a function the debugger set on this shortcut in CM's `extraKeys` 5. After `onKeyDown` returns, `endOperation` is called via the `operation` function that wraps this event handler 6. Eventually we arrive at `endOperation_W2`, which contains: if (op.focus && op.focus == activeElt()) ensureFocus(op.cm); 7. Since this is true because of step 2, `ensureFocus` pulls the focus back into the editor. Looking back at the (quite old) version of CM we used to be on (4.2), it does not seem like there was a code path that would grab focus **after** a key handler runs. Marijn, is there an option or different approach we can take to avoid CM focusing back to itself like this?

If I follow the logic then the expression `op.focus && op.focus == activeElt()` will be false if this happens, and the editor _won't_ refocus itself. If I set up a text case where I bind a key using CodeMirror's keymap mechanism to focus an external textarea, things work as hoped -- when I press they key, the textarea gains focus, and the editor loses it. Could it be that your focused element isn't part of the same document? That might complicate things, though my understanding is that in that case, focusing CodeMirror in the no-longer-focused document won't cause the element in the focused document to lose focus.

Yes, they are in different documents. And focusing CM in the separate document does take focus back away from the currently selected document.

Does this patch work for you? ``` diff --git a/lib/codemirror.js b/lib/codemirror.js index ae16a87..d914807 100644 --- a/lib/codemirror.js +++ b/lib/codemirror.js @@ -3093,7 +3093,8 @@ if (cm.state.focused && op.updateInput) cm.display.input.reset(op.typing); - if (op.focus && op.focus == activeElt()) ensureFocus(op.cm); + if (op.focus && op.focus == activeElt() && (!document.hasFocus || document.hasFocus())) + ensureFocus(op.cm); } function endOperation_finish(op) { ```

Great -- I've merged it into CodeMirror's master branch

Looks like the infra for osx blew up on this try push, but linux is looking good so far: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=57334000da1c
