Input Text goes across Tabs?

Post by rookietester »

Wierd behaviour that I have been noticing in 0.6 and now in 0.7 too.
Lets say I have mail.yahoo.com open in a tab and hotmail.com is loading in the next tab.
Whatever I type in the Yahoo page gets transferred to the hotmail page!

This only happens when the second tab is loading
Has anybody else seen this happening?
Known issue?

Only mouse gestures (all-in-one Gestures 0.9.5).
But have seen this happening in fresh installs too.

Is this reproducible somewhere else?

I have AIO too but I do not have this problem. When you say fresh installs, does it mean you change to a new profile?

Why not try a new profile then? Close FB and run:

"path:\to\mozillafirebird.exe" -p

This is happening for all profiles :(
Also saw this happening at my friend's place where there are no extensions.

This is a known bug when forms grab focus. I think this happens with Google.

i got the same prob, very annoying :(, but there seem more problems with the focus:

for example when i switched to another app. and firebird completed loading a site, sometimes(i dont know exactly, but when using mirc i often noticed) windows switches back to firebird.
Strange thing is also that when firebird is gaining focus(from task switch), ctrl+t sometimes doesn't work, and i have to click another tab till this works.
