Description Alexander Winston 2003-05-18 12:42:56 UTC
When opening a new tab, you should have full control of the webpage, which you
don't (you can't type anything in the textbox).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Set your homepage to http://www.google.com/ (though it works with all pages).
2.  Open a new tab (Ctrl+T).
3.  Attempt to type a query string in the textbox.

Actual Results:  
I could not focus the textbox.

Expected Results:  
Allowed me to type in and send my query.

  Portage 2.0.48_pre6 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.2-r1)

try again with pentium3 in CFLAGS
Comment 2 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-19 15:53:58 UTC
what version of galeon  and mozilla?
Comment 3 Nuno Araujo 2003-05-20 18:39:04 UTC
I've seen the same problem... If you look the status bar, it seems that galeon puts him self in a regexp search mode, that will look for a string directly on the page you're in...

Simply click in the google search textbox for example and then click again on the page, and it will work just fine...

I don't think this is a ebuild problem...
For me it's rather a galeon bug...

If someone can make it follow up...

bugreporter,

can you confirm whether "type ahead find" might be affecting your galeon/mozilla? and also what the version for both are. is this the gtk1/gtk2 version of galeon?

nuno,

it is possible that that it might be the type-ahead-find, but at least under epiphany you can still focus on form elements if it is under that mode.
