Issue 3571: Chrome main window keeps the focus even when another window  
requests it
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3571

New issue report by sanjayma:
Chrome Version       : 0.2.149.3
URLs (if applicable) : http://www.treksee.com
Other browsers tested:
   Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
      Safari 3: OK
     Firefox 3: OK
          IE 7: OK

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to http://www.treksee.com
2. Click on the "Tell friends" link in upper right corner.
3. A pop-up window will appear. It will have the focus.
4. Re-focus on the main browser window.
5. Click on the "Tell friends" link again.

What is the expected result?
In other browsers, the pop-up will regain focus, but not in Chrome.

What happens instead?
Chrome maintains the focus instead of giving it back to the pop-up.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

The code for the pop-up looks much like this (code from
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.open):

var WindowObjectReference = null; // global variable

function openFFPromotionPopup()
{
   if(WindowObjectReference == null || WindowObjectReference.closed)
   /* if the pointer to the window object in memory does not exist
      or if such pointer exists but the window was closed */
   {
     WindowObjectReference = window.open("http://www.spreadfirefox.com/";,
    "PromoteFirefoxWindowName", "resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes");
     /* then create it. The new window will be created and
        will be brought on top of any other window. */
   }
   else
   {
     WindowObjectReference.focus();
     /* else the window reference must exist and the window
        is not closed; therefore, we can bring it back on top of any other
        window with the focus() method. There would be no need to re-create
        the window or to reload the referenced resource. */
   };
}
