286751 - a popup opened from inside a popup freezes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Michiel van Leeuwen (email: mvl+moz@)]

When using a <button popup="foo"> inside a popup, mozilla freezes when opening
that subpopup. The popup still reacts though.

It might not be legal, dunno. But it shouldn't freeze.

(i can't give exact details, since i'm not on windows)

The problem isn't during the "popup" the problem is when the second popup window
closes. So the sequence is click the button. click "click". click "close2" (or
click away so that the second popup closes) - Freeze.

Not going to block 1.8.1 for this bug, but we'll happily consider a baked-on-trunk patch.

When you say 'freeze', do you mean the browser hangs, or just that the menu doesn't close properly?

Comment 6

[Andrew Douglas]

The browser is still functional, but the original/parent popup menu is displayed even when it should be hidden (minimizing the browser won't even hide it) and no longer responds to clicking of any kind. This is still an issue on 1.5.0.4 on windows xp. I hope that's clearer. If you need me to check anything, just let me know. Thanks!
