General information

Sorry for the long title :-)

On Firefox 66.0b5, if I move the icon on the "overflow menu" (see picture), I cannot scroll anymore the list of passwords, after having invoked the popup menu with CTRL+L.

On Chromium, everything's fine.

Exact steps to reproduce the problem

  1. Move browserpass icon to overflow menu
  2. go to any website and type CTRL+L
  3. the menu appears but I cannot insert text to search for a password
  4. Need to use the mouse to focus on the popup, then I can search text

What should happen?

the popup should have keyboard focus

What happened instead?

the popup does not have keyboard focus

Unfortunately I don't think there's anything we can do on the extension side, it's not the first time I hear that Firefox likes to steal focus and users need to use mouse to bring the focus back 😞 For example, there's another very annoying issue https://github.com/browserpass/browserpass/issues/200

I'll close because it's not actionable, but if you or anyone else find a solution that we can implement in this project, I would be very happy to reopen the issue (or better yet, merge a PR 😜)

hey @maximbaz thank you so much for the insight; interesting how sometimes Firefox gets in the way when you least expect.

No worries about closing it, good we now have a trace of this behaviour for the next user that might notice this behaviour! :+1:
