Opening a link in a new window loses keyboard focus

(Whiteboard: DUPEME?)
When I open a link using either the contextual menu or button 2, this new window doesn't accept keyboard commands. My window manager--WindowMaker 0.62.1--says it has focus, but it really doesn't. My keyboard focus is configured to follow my mouse pointer rather than via an explicit mouse click. If I change focus to another window and back using the mouse, it still does _not_ get the keyboard focus. Only solution currently is to click within the contents--not even on the window manager's widgets--of that window. This is with Mozilla 0.9--I've overridden its user-agent string.

aaronl, methinks this is a dupe, or at least definitely related to that "need to click in order for keyboard commands to work" bug.

This could be a UNIX only problem. I'm not seeing any different behavior when the context menu is used to open a link in a new window.

Excuse me? Someone please explain how this has something to do with whether the URL bar gets focused by default. If it's a dup, it's probably a dup of something listed in the focus meta bug 70812

From the other bug: Under Linux, when you open a new browser window (including starting Mozilla up), the URL bar is given focus. This is bad, because it means that no keyboard navigation shortcuts (such as spacebar to scroll down) will work until you take a manual step to force Mozilla to put the focus in the display area. Thus the dupe ;)
