Bug 126800 – Web Inspector: Switching tabs to window with inspector open prohibits typing into console

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Inspector

[Jonathan Wells]

There is an issue with the text input field in the console. In many situations, switching back to a window with the console open, clicking into the console text entry field, then typing results in no text being entered. To reproduce:

1. Open Safari using the nightly build to a blank page.
2. Hit Option-Command-C to open the console
3. Enter a command to confirm the field currently works.
4. Hit Command-T to open a new tab.
5. Hit Shift-Command-[ to move back to the first tab.
6. Click inside the console entry field.
7. Type a key other than Tab or Delete. 

A key other than these will not work.

I think this should have a more descriptive name that indicates that it restores the selection.

Renamed to restoreSelectionInFocusedEditableElement.
