            As a workaround the web application can be configured to use an index JSP page that redirects the browser to the JSF page (where this issue occurs). During the redirect the browser will acquire the session tracking cookie. The request for the JSF page will then have this cookie thus prompting the server to generate URLs in the markup without the jsessionid parameter. Because URL format does not change anymore between requests the server will not generate large updates which cause the focus lost problem.

            Description


            On the first update of an input element (through singleSubmit or f:ajax) the focus is lost. Setting the tabindex doesn't have any impact on this. Once this first update is made the focus and tabing works without any issues.

            A few things I noticed:
             - This can only be seen when first loading the app in a fresh browser instance. If the tab is closed and then the page is accessed again in a new tab, this isn't an issue. To re-test this the browser needs to be closed and then re-opened between tests.
             - Once the page is displayed initially, if I refresh the page without doing an update, this issue isn't seen.

When the focus is already on the element that needs to receive focus ice.applyFocus function call will just ignore the request.
