192486 - Alert / confirmation dialogs must be modal

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Max Alekseyev]

OS/2 build 2003020812

Sometimes alert / permission request dialog gets into background, and it's
really hard to realize why Navigator window doesn't work.

To reproduce:
1. Try open unexisting site like http://www.testtest.com
2. Alert window appears saying that site cannot be found
3. Left alert window opened and switch to Navigator window
4. Ensure that it's unusable

Expected result: Alert dialog should be modal, and switching from it to the
Navigator window should not be possible

Is this OS/2-only?  I've never run across a nonmodal alert on Linux....

Max is right. If I click the browser in Linux, the modal stays up. In OS/2, if I
click the browser, the modal is buried, and the browser is non-responsive until
I use the OS to bring the modal back up and dismiss.

W32 is just like Linux, except that it doesn't even change the alert's titlebar
color on clicking the browser.
