With a blank page as default for new windows, and quicklaunch disabled, i see the same thing in 1.2.1/win2k that Jim Garrison describes in <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139862#c27>. Jim said: <quote> Possible regression in 1.2.1: In prior versions, starting a new window by executing mozilla.exe with no options (i.e. from a desktop shortcut) would behave like opening a new window with Ctrl-N and place focus in the URLbar. In 1.2.1, Ctrl-N continues to put the focus in the correct place, but starting from mozilla.exe doesn't put the focus anywhere. It's not in the URLbar and the URLbar can't be reached by tabbing. It's almost as if there is NO keyboard focus at all until the mouse is clicked in the URLbar. </quote> This is not the same as bug 139862, because here the expected behavior is clear: the focus thould be in the URLbar. 139862 is a discussion whether the URLbar should get focus even in new windows with default content. I observed that the URLbar is focused correctly after switching to another program window and back to mozilla. I remember not seeing the bug all the time during the last weeks, but i have not found out the necessary conditions yet.

Still present in 1.3b (2003021008)

Still present in 1.3 (20030312)

The problem is the same with Quicklaunch enabled. What about bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153693 ?

I cannot confirm this here. It does still not work under W2kSP3 with 1.4a. Tarmo: Did you remove the focus from the first Mozilla-Window before opening another?

Tried all kinds of combinations, first Mozilla window minimized, maximized, restored, with focus and without, with taskbar having focus, with some other program having focus, starting mozilla.exe from explorer.exe, from far.exe, with winkey.exe, with -nosplash and without... Just works now, it had this focus problems on ~1.3 builds. BTW bug 159908 is mysteriously fixed too with this 1.4a build, someone did something right ;) WinXP SP1, rv:1.4a, Gecko/20030404

Is anyone still seeing this with a recent build? http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/contrib/latest-mozilla1.8/

I have not used the Seamonkey Suite for a while, so I cannot test this any more. (In Ubuntu's Firefox 1.5.0.7 this works fine, btw.)
