Details

Minimizing a navigator window immediately after choosing
New Navigator Window, but before the new window appears (!),
results in:
###!!!ASSERTION: SetBounds Size < 0: 'aRect.width >= 0 && aRect.height >= 0',
file d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\layout\xul\base\src\nsBox.cpp, line 511.
Does not happend on Linux 2000080308.
WORKSFORME on 20000820 WinNT4. sgoossens@ortec.nl - what build were you using, 
and do you still see this problem in recent builds?

I was using M16 when I reported the bug.
I can still reproduce it with M17 (2000080712, is that recent enough?).
A correction to the reported behaviour: you must minimize
the *newly created* window (not the original one) before its
paint routine (of whatever that is called) gets any chance of
replacing the pixels of the original window by its own contents.
So I still see the original window's contents when pressing the
minimize button on the new one.

The new window should start with displaying my home page. This is
a simple html page with 3 frames, some javascript and a couple of
tables. When I change my homepage location to about:blank, the problem 
doesn't seem to occur. Maybe I should send you my homepage...
please attach the html for your page.  Thanks :)
Tomer/Gerv: be aware that you need to be using a debug build to see assertions.
temporarily marking wfm (cause it does on win2k in a debug build pulled 
yesterday)
