Possible focus-related bugs

  • Following a link from an external app doesn't always focus the window/content - e.g can't page down/up, can't tab to links and/or form controls (the focus is 'somewhere' or nowhere). Clicking in the page - but not browser chrome - restores functionality. This happens when the link is opened in the foreground from any app
  • Flash on obscuresound.com earlier. (I have Flashblock enabled but whitelisted for that site.) The Flash was unresponsive to clicks when switching to the page from another tab. Clicking on the non-Flash portions of the page would restore focus to the content, after which the Flash became responsive.
  • Another loss of focus: Cmd-shift click a link to open it in a new foreground-tab.
  • Can't drag-and-drop text within text fields.
  • Two-fingered scrolling latches on to one widget, e.g. if scrolling a <textarea>, can't switch to scrolling page when reach end of <textarea>; likewise, if scrolling a page and <textarea> comes into view, <textarea> won't scroll when cursor is over it.
