Move Tab keys (Ctrl-PgUp/PgDn) stop working after reloading a crashed tab

Project Member Reported by thomasvs@google.com, Feb 24 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.167 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. go to a crashed tab, or kill one
2. hit ctrl-r to reload
3. hit ctrl-pgup to move to the next tab

What is the expected behavior?
should move to the next tab

What went wrong?
ctrl-pg up and pg dn do not react/move tabs, until you do at least one mouse click in the browser window.

Did this work before? Yes a few versions ago

Chrome version: 64.0.3282.167  Channel: stable
OS Version: trusty
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 28.0 r0

makes it a lot more tiresome to recover a bunch of oom-killed tabs.

FWIW Chrome in Windows never allowed keyboard input immediately after reloading a crashed tab.
There's a workaround though: press Alt key twice.

I'll try the workaround.  But that's going to be hard to remember.

Are you saying it's a deliberate feature to not allow keyboard input after reloading a crashed tab?

tried hitting alt twice, didn't work - still can't ctrl-pgup/pgdn
