Bug: Focus issue

[MysteryFCM]

When switching back from Outlook to Avant, I press CTRL+N to open a new tab, but Avant itself doesn't seem to have focus, which of course means, the address bar doesn't have focus either.

If I switch back to Avant but don't press CTRL+N then Avant keeps focus, but this doesn't exactly help when I want to open a new window

Now for the annoying part - this is not a constant problem. This issue only arrises sporadically, which is why I've not gotten you a video of it's happening in action

Rather aggravating when I don't usually notice until after I've typed or pasted the address, and wonder why it's not doing anything

This issue is somewhat back.

Doesn't seem to matter if Avant already has focus or not. If I click CTRL+N to open a new tab, the address bar correctly highlights - but it doesn't have focus, meaning I can't type or paste into it, without clicking into the address bar and highlighting the contents manually.

Happen sporadically again?

[MysteryFCM]

Nope, each and every time

How does it happen? I can't replay it~

All I'm doing is pressing CTRL+N to open a new tab, you see the address bar become highlighted, but it's not got focus, which prevents me typing in it (can't do a video of it due to the keyboard having to be used)

OK, no problem here on both win2003 and xp. Which system does your problem happen on? xp or vista?

[MysteryFCM]

Windows 7 Home Premium and Vista Home Premium SP2

Fixed with 102

I spoke to soon.

If Avant already has focus, and I press CTRL+N, then the address bar gets focus.

If I'm switching to Avant from another window (i.e. Outlook), and press CTRL+N, then the address bar gets highlighted, but does NOT get focus.

As an aside, build 102 crashed on me earlier (the entire avant process, not just the individual tab), was loading a page on Robtex at the time (page has loaded just fine since).

Stability certainly seems to be getting alot worse with each 11.8 release

Was in my RSS reader, switched back to Avant and ........ this happened (you'll notice my RSS reader has focus *inside Avant*, instead of the newly created tab);

As you can see, Avant was already loading a page when I switched back to it. Doubt that's related though as it's done it when it wasn't loading anything aswell.

Closed the tab that was loading a site, and created a new tab (to come to these forums to report the focus issue incidentally) and Avant completely crashed.

/edit

Avant had been open ~8 hours or so, with multiple tabs open btw.

Same error here but I don´t think, it looses focus, it seems to be a timing problem. After opening a new tab it lasts up to two seconds, then the adress line gets focus. same problem after pressing F6 for typing a new URL. It lasts some seconds before you can type in the adress field.

Maybe it has something to do with another annoying "feature": when switching from Avant to another task via Alt-Tab you have to press twice to activate the next task. The first Alt-Tab remains you in Avant but without focus.

These two bugs make the use of Avant Browser extremely annoying.
