Issue 2538: Enter url with Alt+Enter from a tab shouldn't leave focus of  
that tab in url bar
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2538

New issue report by chungwu:
Product Version      : 0.2.152.1
URLs (if applicable) : N/A

      Safari 3:
     Firefox 3:
          IE 7:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start with a web page (it helps if it's a web page with keyboard
shortcuts, like Gmail or Google Reader

2. You decide to navigate to some webpage!  Go to the url bar, type in url,
press alt+enter to open the url in a new tab

3. You're done reading that page!  Close it or just switch to the
originating tab

4. The focus on that tab is still on the url bar, not on the page!
Keyboard shortcuts don't work until you click on some white space on the
page.

What is the expected result?

Like in Firefox 3, I expect focus to return to the page instead of staying
in the url bar.  After all, I'm putting focus into the url bar just to open
a new tab; after I've done that, focus should return to the tab
automatically.

What happens instead?

Focus remains in the url bar.  This annoying when you mostly interact with
the originating page via keyboard shortcuts (Gmail, Google Reader), etc.
Worse -- there's no way I can tell to jump focus from url bar to the page
via a keyboard shortcut, forcing me to use the mouse!
