Clicking a link (in Mac WebKit Nightly, r52242) that doesn't replace the current view renders a focus ring around the link. According to one reply on the WebKit-dev mailing list, this appears to be a bug. http://www.1stview.ca/p60-OceanWest-Oceanfront-Houses-Oceanfront-Lots/ (click any left or right sidebar image to see an example of the problem) (I hope submitting a public webpage as an example is satisfactory)

Strangely, the problem only appears with the sidebar images in the URL I provided, not text-only links that target a new window. Thinking about this further, I did install a new version of jQuery ColorBox to handle the overlays... I wonder if its responsible for the focus ring and this isn't a WebKit bug afterall. Please close this bug and accept my apologies if that turns out to be the case.

Not a bug afterall. It was ColorBox calling the focus() method. Sorry.
