Comment 3 for bug 1533317

Can you please specify exactly what setup you’re using? A Nexus 7 without additional input/output devices will not focus the address bar of a new tab, that’s the expected behaviour. Have you plugged in an external monitor to have unity8 running in windowed mode? If so then indeed the address bar should get focus and currently doesn’t, but as I wrote above it’s a bug in the "desktop mode" detection that is being tracked separately.
