As for the GTK port, I already had written a patch some time ago that fixed the problem and even got accepted, but then it broke some tests and got rolled out... and got unfortunately forgotten due to happening in a moment where I was too busy with other matters. Shame on me.

Why does this need to be a platform decision? It seems like all we'd want to do is, if a in page link is activated and focus was on that link, move setFocusedNode() to the anchor if it accepts keyboard focus...
