(FTR, as demonstrated at the Wednesday AUI meeting; someone else said
they'd seen this with other dialog boxes, here's how to reproduce it in
Netscape on sun and linux.)
The first time in a Netscape session, "Find in Page" from the Edit menu
works fine; if you close the dialog box and open it again later in the
same session, the window itself is focused, but not the text entry box
(no active outline, cursor doesn't flash, typing in it doesn't work).
If you move or resize the window, then click on it again to get focus
back from the main Netscape window, text entry works again.
Note that this happens only from the Edit menu, not if you use Alt-F.
In console (after the fix):
16:39 Window lost focus keymap: Netscape: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (keymap (move-window-interactively 3 . 67240192) (popup-window-menu 1 . 67240448) (raise-lower-window 1 . 67240960) (lower-window 65364 . 67174400) (raise-window 65362 . 67174400) (raise-and-pass-through-click 1 . 131328))
