New issue 15803 by chris.calo: Clicking a checkbox does not give it focus
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=15803
Chrome Version : 3.0.189.0
URLs (if applicable) : N/A
Other browsers tested:
Safari 4: FAIL
Firefox 3.x: OK
IE 7: OK
IE 8: OK
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the attached HTML document.
2. Click one of the checkboxes.
3. Press tab.
What is the expected result?
Upon clicking one of the checkboxes, it should receive focus. Subsequently
pressing tab should give the following checkbox focus.
What happens instead?
The clicked checkbox does not receive focus, and subsequently pressing tab
starts with the beginning of the document.
This happens in Safari too, so it is likely a WebKit issue. Firefox takes
this a step further, and it works beautifully. You can click an empty area
in the document and that sets an imaginary focus cursor there.
Subsequently pressing tab will focus the next focusable control after this
imaginary cursor. I use this a lot: pick a region on the page that I want
to work with, click it, and then use tab to quickly navigate the controls
without tabbing through all the controls about that region.
