I agree with Mournir Lamouri that this problem is may be complicated than I first thought when I posted a duplicate bug a few years ago, and welcome his introduction of debate into this discussion I do, however find his suggestion that websites should use autofocus unhelpful. I suspect the majority of web developers are not accessibility gurus who have the time to pay attention to issues like this. I would like to prompt for examples where a broken refocus would cause an issue to the user. I can think of an example where this might break the website, but doesn't affect the user much: auto-advancement to the next field when the character limit is reached in, for example, keys that are broken by spaces for ease of use (can't remember the term for this right now). I feel the next stage of discussion should be about when and where focus can be altered by a webpage or the gui, and if we can isolate these instances if needed One such case is password fields. I believe it is a critical security flaw that a user's password can be revealed to anyone watching the screen, be it in the workplace or over a projector screen. (@Mournir Lamouri I hope you won't suggest learn touchtyping :) ) Until further discussion on this issue, I move that refocussing should be disabled for password fields whilst the user is typing. Can we agree on this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24398 Title: Form field focus should not be set if user has begun entering text.

It might be that this problem happens at times other than on-load. Hence my suggestion of “never allow a change focus whilst the user is typing”. If I have typed in the last two seconds (configurable?), focus belongs to me not to Firefox and not to the webpage. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24398 Title: Form field focus should not be set if user has begun entering text.

When loading my webmail page, godaddy has a few large images. Very stupid of godaddy. So the HTML loads, I start tying name and password, and partway through the password the page finishes loading and Firefox moves the focus back to the name field. So some of my password is then typed into the name field. Yikes! Please, never allow a change focus whilst the user is typing. Never, even if the page tries to do this when loading finishes. Or, as the initial poster in this old bug suggests, don’t change focus if the user has done so.

Webpages should use autofocus instead of |.focus()|. That would solve this issue. Though, I don't know if we should block |.focus()|, I fear that could break some websites. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24398 Title: Form field focus should not be set if user has begun entering text.

I can now confirm the annoyance in Firefox Beta 5 on stable Hardy. Test : 1. launch a new page with a search box like http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/ 2. start entering text in the search bar 3. focus is stolen and eventually part of your input lands in the webpage search box It's mostly a problem on slow connections. -- Form field focus should not be set if user has begun entering text. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24398 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Form field focus should also not be set if user has begun entering text in the search bar... I'm on Firefox Beta 4 (on Windows, sorry) and I find it very annoying...
