found using 2001.05.23.08 on linux and 2001.05.24.0x on mac and winnt. reassign as needed. found while verifying bug 24423. when i use f6 [or, shift+f6] to cycle through frames, focus is lost temporarily. to observe: 1. go to http://wired.com 2. click in the main frame [which lists the articles] so that it has focus. 3. hit f6 --here's what i see when hitting f6 to cycle through the frames: 1st press: focus goes to bottom ad frame. 2nd press: focus goes to urlbar [blinking cursor at the end of the url text]. 3rd press: focus goes to lala land...not sure where it is; the cursor in the urlbar stops blink, but cannot type anything there. 4th press: focus goes to the main frame.

The focus is't lost, it momentarily goes to a document, instead of a control in a document.

->bryner, but punt as needed :)

aaronl: what do you think, should this be WONTFIX? isn't this the intended behavior?

i'd rather not mark this as wontfix. it's frustrating to not *see* the focus [ie, where i am] as well as to not be able to do anything [type or scroll] while in that state.

Bryner - this one is important too. Similar to tabbing into lala land. Frame navigation is another case where we don't want that behavior.

This is a more specific instance of 83566. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 83566 ***
