I am not that surprised that there are problems like that. The Gecko/Mozilla code does some really evil things with keyboard focus, to the extent where you are better off not mixing a native GTK widget that can take keyboard focus and a mozilla content area in the same toplevel window.

This is one of the reasons I usually use mozilla or firefox.

(Note that I haven't actually looked at these bits of the moz code for a few years, but unless they have been changed completely the problems would still be there)
