Wow! Finally someone thinking about audience. In this case, I would highlight that _if_ one's internet connection is slow _and_ you have used the search box in the upper right corner before, this would be possibly a 'bug'.
The reason being that _any_ Firefox text input is usurped upon the page load and pulled to the input box on the page. In order: 1) Usurped if the start page is slow loaded. If they type 'Yahoo' (as I have watched many folks on their Safari browsers do) into the search bar top right, it will be refocused mid-stream to the start page search. Problematic. 2) Case (a) and (b) would be unaffected. You would wait for the page in case (b). Case (c) would be usurped potentially. 3) Usurped. Half the text would end up in the address bar and half in the Ubuntu start page bar. I'd probably think the wisest choice is to let the individual choose. The problem with the bug is that the user can choose where to start, but the focus will flip. I don't know if it requires a deeper semantic investigation in this case, but I might just be shallow. If the focus doesn't pull into the box, the individual can still choose where to type. If it does, it doesn't matter where a person types as their focus will be pulled to that box. -- FIREFOX START PAGE: Focus pulled to start page Google box https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239831 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
