Affects: epiphany-browser (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: I set my home page to http://google.com/ because I often want to do a google search. However, I also often just want to type a URL (or use a bookmark, I love epiphany's integration of bookmarks in the location bar). So, I hit Ctrl-T to open a new tab, then immediately hit Ctrl-L to start typing a URL. Depending on how fast the network is vs. my typing, google's search box may or may not steal focus away from the URL bar before I finish typing. So, often typing "smh.com.au<enter>" does what I want, and sometimes it doesn't, and this is very frustrating. I think a reasonable solution for this is that a web page should *never* be able to steal focus from the surrounding browser -- if I'm using the URL bar (or a menu, or some other widget), then I don't expect that the web page may grab the focus. I'm happy for the page to be focused at whereever the javascript likes when I tab into the page or click on the page to bring the page widget (if that's the term?) into focus, but I don't want it stolen from elsewhere. Similarly, if the page already has the focus (e.g. I just clicked a link), then of course I'm happy for the focus to do whatever the resulting page intends. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
