Preview pane gets focus and makes it hard to select messages by keyboard

[rcubetrac]

Reported by rosali on 13 Dec 2010 08:49 UTC as Trac ticket #1487633

Please add onload=parent.focus() into body tag of messagespreview.html and watermark.html.

Reason:
#1-Select a single message row
#2-Press Shift + arrow down

Expected:

Second message row should be selected
and watermark.html gets loaded.

Current Behavior:

Sometime I get expected behavior and
sometime I have to click on the parent window
before Shift + arrow down works
(focus is on the iframe).

I'm able to reproduce this issue partially. It means, arrow keys doesn't work only after clicking on the iframe. Because clicking on the iframe moves focus from the list to the iframe. Is this your case? In other cases simple loading of the frame content shouldn't bring out the focus from the list. What browsers are using? Check without plugins.
