168080 - [MacOSX] Login prompt for popmail appears in front of browser and not messenger

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[grylchan]

This is only on OS X. Didn't see on os 9.

Using commercial trunk 2002091008 on MAC 10.1.5

If you create a new profile, create a new pop mail acnt,
don't login, quit, restart browser, then start mail,
you will see the login prompt for pop account (the sheet
as they are called on OS X) drop down from browser window
instead of messenger.

I also saw this problem with webmail or aol mail also.
But in these cases you need to create pop mail then webmail or aol
and you will see prompt for webmail or aol login appear in front
of the browser. See bugscape bug 19859.

Steps:
1.create new profile
2.start mail
3.create a pop mail account.
4.After done creating, while Account Settings window is open,
  verify the pref 'check new mail at startup is checked'.
5.Click ok, then quit
6.Restart the browser
7.Start mail

result: pop mail login screen drops down in front of the browser
expected: to drop down in front of messenger

What's weird is that if I try exact same steps but with a imap
acnt instead of pop, it works fine. Then when you add
aol/webmail to commercial it really gets weirded out.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
