1030: Reviewboard steals status from firefox after hitting Ctrl+F

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a changeset and view the diff.  Hit Ctrl+F then start typing.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the typing to end up in the Find box at the bottom of the screen
like with all other websites.  Instead, it turns out that reviewboard
steals the focus back and my keystrokes go to the diff review instead of to
the find box.

What operating system are you using? What browser?

Windows XP SP3 with Firefox 3.0.8.

In order to reproduce this, you may first need to create a comment and then cancel
out of it.  Then if you hit Ctrl+F I think RB steals the focus back.

I agree that this is a really annoying bug, but it appears that it's actually a bug
in Firefox. Seems it doesn't reliably steal focus when it should. I can't figure out
what condition causes that. Going to keep this bug open in case we find the cause,
but it won't be fixed any time soon, probably.

I was able to reproduce this bug with Firefox 3.0.11 but not with 3.5 RELEASE.

If it's fixed in 3.5, I think we can close this as a 3rd party issue.
