Summary
links do not show focus rectangle on some pages

- running on Ubuntu 9.10 with WebKitGTK 1.2.0 built from source - run GtkLauncher - go to a page like google.com and note that pressing tab traverses through the page's links, and the focus rect is shown, good - now go to a page like eclipse.org -> pressing tab does traverse through the page's links, as can be inferred by the view port shifting periodically within the scrolled control -> however the focus rect is only shown when focus is on the Search button near the top, and sometimes on a link included in the google ad near the bottom of the page

I notice that some other stand-alone browsers are showing the same behaviour, so I'm not sure if this is actually a WebKitGTK problem. I see focus rectangles drawn on eclipse.org with IE6 and mozilla 1.7.x, but I don't see them with Firefox 3.5.x and IE8. So if there's something invalid about this case then this report can be closed (though it would be unfortunate from an accessibility POV).

Looks like those missing rectangles are just disabled using the CSS outline property. So this doesn't look like a bug to me.
