Title:
firefox does not take keyboard focus
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
This seems to affect only firefox, and it happens every time. To
reproduce,
1) Open gedit. Without clicking anywhere, type something to make sure it took
the keyboard focus (as it should).
2) Open firefox. Without clicking anywhere, type something. Notice that what
you type doesn't go to firefox, but rather still goes to gedit.
Additionally, I have noticed that if a firefox window has the keyboard
focus and you open a new firefox window, the new window will take the
focus automatically. It is only when another program has the focus
that firefox fails to steal the focus. (I also tested with kile and
gnome-terminal in place of gedit, both yielding the same effect.)
Note: I marked this as a security vulnerability due to the possibility
that one might type information intended to go into one program
(firefox) with it inadvertently going to another program (e.g. gnome-
terminal), in which case one might end up running unintended commands.
(Also, I do not recall this behavior in previous versions of Ubuntu,
so it seems reasonable for people to expect it to work as I expect it
to work, thus making this a valid security issue.)
