In Mozilla, the Ctrl-t key combination is supposed to open a new tab. Sometimes when I press this key combination nothing happens. In that case, I first have to click on the location bar at the top of the screen. After that, pressing Ctrl-t opens new tabs in the browser window. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge mozilla-1.6 (if you don't have it installed already). 2. Run mozilla, and visit any website. 3. Press Ctrl-t to open a new tab. Actual Results: Most of the time, no new tab appears until I click the mouse on the location bar and press the keys Ctrl-t again. Expected Results: Ctrl-t should work every time. This bug is independent of the other programs I run, and is not affected by them. I have had this happen both when only running Mozilla and when running multiple other programs.

Yeah, I've noticed this kind of thing too, occasionally. It just seems to depend on where the focus is at the moment. I think it isn't actually a bug, but rather a question of how ctrl-t is interpreted in different contexts. If you can narrow it down to something in particular, you might consider raising the issue to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org
