When I focus on an actual tab, typeahead find / FAYT doesn't work. May be related to or a dup of bug 259758, but I don't recall if the focus behavior changed between 1.7 and trunk (I know we added large focus boxes to indicated a tab has focus).

You need to look at nsTypeAheadFind::HandleKeyPress and see if you're receiving key events when the user is focused on a tab. If you are, see how you can prevent it from exiting early by checking if the focus is within the main browser tabbar.

whether it works depends on sequence of events. click on tab, type, FAYT works. ctrl-pgdn to another tab and sometimes it works. one case where it does not: 1. create and put content in 2 tabs 2. click on tab 1 3. ctrl-pgdn to tab 2 4. attempt FAYT 5. if it works then repeat steps 2-4 results: no selection occurs reproduceable: always or almost always at step 5, only sometimes on first try (up to step 4) for these steps, perhaps timing is a factor because I often see the mouse hour glass Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060531 Minefield/3.0a1 also in SM Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060516 SeaMonkey/1.0.2 - though I didn't see the hour glass

(In reply to Michal 'hramrach' Suchanek from comment #6) > This may be related to bug 318881 Quite possible, but I think that bug got fixed by bug 703522. Another possibility is that this bug got fixed by bug 345526.
