I have a strange problem with Firefox 3 occasionally grabbing focus (I'm running KDE 3.5.9, using Focus Strictly Follows Mouse). Sometimes it looks like Firefox is fighting the window manager, with the title bar repeatedly flashing white (in focus) and gray (out of focus), and sometimes it looks like Firefox just manages to hold on for a while. I do not have a clear repeatable test case for this. I *have* ruled out autocomplete.grab_during_popup and autocomplete.ungrab_during_mode_switch as being the trigger -- with either both true, both false, or grab_during_popup false and ungrab_during_mode_switch being true, this happens. It seems to happen most often when I move the mouse into the Firefox window when it has been outside for a while. Another situation under which it happens is when I go to about:config -- in this case, when it grabs focus like this, I actually can't type into the filter box until it clears itself up. I'm aware of the supposed fsync() issue that supposedly has been fixed, but I don't believe that to be the issue. For one, my disk light isn't turning on when it happens, and for two, Firefox shouldn't be trying to repeatedly grab focus while the supposed fsync() is happening.
