User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/312.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/312 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 After pointing browser to the URL above and the applet has loaded, click on the 'Fonts' pulldown menu and select an option, say 'American Typewriter'. Try clicking in the browser URL text entry box and type something to change the URL - you cannot. It appears that the keyboard focus stays in the applet - if you type in the character 'c' for instance while the mouse focus is in the URL textbox, notice that the selection in the 'Fonts' pulldown of the applet changes to 'Century Gothic'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to URL above. 2. Click on a selection in the 'Fonts' pulldown - and select 'American Typewriter'. 3. Click in the URL textbox to change the URL and you cannot. Actual Results: keyboard focus appears to stay in the applet, while mouse focus is in the URL textbox. Expected Results: keyboard focus should have moved to where the mouse was clicked.
this can also cause a crash in Firefox. At step 3, type something like 'c', say, then hit the reload URL button. Repeat a few times, and the browser should crash.
