OS: WinNT 4.0 SP4+ Machine: HP VA, 200MHz, 64MB Mozilla build: M12 Build-id: 1999122923 How to reproduce: 1) Open a dos window (any other application would do, just for switching to another window, required for test case below) 1) Open URL http://www.google.com/ 2) Click on the query input field and type a word, say, "mozilla " 3) Use ALT-TAB to switch to other application (dos window) 4) Again use ALT-TAB to switch back to Mozilla 5) Try to continue to type the query string 6) PROBLEM: The focus is no longer in the query input field 7) The query string you try to input would be taken as menu commands 8) Using mouse click on the query input field 9) Continue tying, say, "editor" 10) PROBLEM: The key stroke "e" would appear in the query window as well as it would be taken as menu command "Edit" and the Edit menu appears What should have happened: 1) In point (6) above, the foucs should have remained in query input field 2) In point (10) above keystrokes should not be taken as menu short cut kesy
The foucs not going back to the correct input box (point 6) sounds like bug 12051. The fact that it is activatiing the menus (point 10) seems like bug 18598. I'm setting the component to XP Toolkit/Widgets because the main complaint is about the INPUT field...

Assigning all open "nobody@mozilla.org" bugs to "leger@netscape.com" to weed thru.
