Address bar looses focus after hint pop-up disappearing

[Serhiy]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open new tab.
2. Start typing some bookmark name.
3. When the pop-up appears type further with random characters until pop-up disappears.
4. After that focus is somewhere away from firefox: both typing and keyboard shortcuts don't work.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The exact same thing happens to me. It is driving me NUTS! Please fix this.

Still affects me from time to time on Firefox 11.0.
And it's really annoying: I need to either click anywhere on the window to make keyboard shortcuts work again or make double Alt+Tab.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. This bug was reported some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Does anyone still see a problem related to the one that was reported when using currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
