This is an annoying bug. To reproduce it, load Google in Epiphany and then quickly press "Ctr+L" to re-focus the address bar. The page will steal focus from the address bar shortly thereafter.

Believe it or not this seems to be a regression from 2007. Before that time a widget would only grab focus if it was backed by a real widget. Nowadays it grabs focus no matter what. If there is no real widget, it forces the WebView to grab focus.

Another interesting data point is that we were very diligent in making sure this bug also existed in WebKit2.
