53107 - Mozilla is crippled after returning from the background with no windows

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Widget: Mac, defect, P3)

Description

[Scott Collins]

If you close all content windows (i.e., log window doesn't matter) in Mozilla and 
then bring some other application to the front; then when you next bring Mozilla 
to the front, you will no longer be able to make any new windows nor quit the 
application.

Didn't really know who should own this bug; took a guess.  Re-assign and don't 
hate me if I'm wrong, Dan :-)

if scc meant that cmd-keys didn't work when there were no windows, then yes, this 
was fixed yesterday by danm's checkin. if even selecting things from menus 
manually was the problem, then i have no idea.

I actually had to quit using Macsbug.  Command-Keys didn't work; but neither did 
selecting menu items with the mouse.  I relaunched and tested multiple times to 
determine the exact minimal sequence needed to reproduce.  It was 100% 
reproducible on my buiild of the 18th.  Hope this helps, Mike.

scc, there are problems with menus being ignored with no windows if you activate 
the console window. obviously, it's debug only, so it's not and end-user problem.

btw, if the console window is active, you can cmd-. to quit the app. just a 
shortcut....

leaving WFM.
