Chimera currently doesn't show any focus in frames (frameset frames) if you click between them with the mouse (it does when tabbing). This is really bad, because certain operations, e.g. Save, affect the focussed frame. Save might save a single frame, or even the top frameset document, depending on where you've clicked since loading the page, but there is absolutely no feedback indicating what will get saved. This is really bad. We need to have a way to control how frame focus is displayed.

Simon, I think we've discussed this before, and it's intended behavior. The idea is that always showing focus rings on frames interferes with sites that try to use borderless frames to create a seamless look.
another suggestion: if this were to be implemented, i'd think that the the focus ring (whether accessed via mouseclick or keyboard nav) should disappear once the user starts scrolling / navigating through the frame. in the bug that bryner refers to in comment 3 (which i'm not having luck finding), there were some amusing and interesting suggestions: iirc, allowing a delayed fade of the focus ring...
Dup, since the bug isn't really Chimera-specific. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 102052 ***
