Regression: PDFs no longer immediately have focus for scrolling with spacebar

Reported by anowlcal...@gmail.com, May 3 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS armv7l 10452.74.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.137 Safari/537.36
Platform: 10452.74.0 (Official Build) stable-channel nyan_big

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a PDF
2. Press spacebar to scroll down (should have same effect as page-down key), observe that the PDF does not scroll
3. Click somewhere in the PDF, observe that spacebar now scrolls the PDF

What is the expected behavior?
Spacebar should scroll PDFs without having to interact with the document beforehand.

What went wrong?
Pressing the spacebar no longer scrolls PDFs upon page load. You have to press space and then click in the PDF, and only then will spacebar scroll the PDF.

Did this work before? Yes worked in M64, probably in M65

Chrome version: 66.0.3359.137  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10452.74.0
Flash Version: 29.0.0.140

If you click in the PDF before pressing spacebar, it still doesn't work -- you have to press spacebar, then click, in that order, before spacebar will work for scrolling.

Works for me here on a Chromebook with M65 and M66.

Just to make sure - are you using Chrome's built in PDF Viewer and not another PDF viewer extension from the Chrome Web Store?

Do you have any extensions installed that may be affecting the Chrome PDF Viewer?
My apologies, this seems to be caused by the Vimium extension. I thought it disabled itself for PDFs, since it can't provide useful functionality inside them, but evidently not.
