           Summary: window.focus steals focus from other windows
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 526+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: erik.arvidsson at gmail.com


If I am happily working in one window or tab and another window or tab does a
window.focus() WebKit immediately changes to that tab.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open attached file in a new tab or window.
2. Go to another tab or window

Desired effect:

Should stay on the non attachment tab/window

Actual effect:

Switches to the attachment tab/window every 5 seconds.


This is very destructive since apps like gmail does this and gmail has weird
keyboard shortcuts.  As I was writing this comment gmail stole my focus and
triggered the 'r'  (reply) command.
