128493 - Cancel/OK cross-folder navig dialog loses foreground focus for mail window.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 122765

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[laurel]

Using mar01 commercial trunk, win98
Could not reproduce in linux, mac OS 10.1


When cancelling a cross-folder navigational confirmation dialog which was
initiated from a thread pane focus, the dialog closes and you're left in the
browser window (or in other application/window if no browser open).

1.  Open a mail folder or newsgroup which has no unread in the immediate
folder/group, but there are other folders/groups with unread messages.
2.  Select message in thread pane (may have to select folder then back to thread
pane because of regression bug 127144), click Next button.
3.  Cancel the "advance to next unread message in..." confirmation dialog.

Result:  mail window loses its foreground focus, user left in open browser or
other window/app.

This happens when OK to the dialog, too.

Does not happen using yesterday's (feb28) trunk build. Regression.
Nominating since it's a hassle to have to switch back to mail window when trying
to navigate.
