Details
Steps: Go to http://www.betanews.com click on any of the download links there. The dialog whether to open/execute the downloaded file shows up, but is 'frozen', while the download progresses as indicated in the progressmeter on the status bar, once download is finished, it asked for user to choose file name. Expected behavior: After the save or execute directly dialog shows up the user shold get to pick a file name. The save or execute dialog should close and the download progress dialog shold appear.
On further investigation it seems the save or execute dialog is not quite frozen, the cancel button can be pressed but it does *not* result in cancelling the download which happily continues

this really sounds like a dup of bug 44176, the more i think of it... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 44176 ***

Sarah, I think there are subtle, yet useful distinctions between this bug and bug 44176. That bug seems (after I waded through all the discussion) to now be about the fact that there's no (standalone) progress dialog corresponding to the downloading. If you think differently, please correct me. This bug talks about the Downloading dialog being "frozen" or perhaps that the file picker doesn't appear until the download completes. Each of these problems has existed at some point in the not-too-distant past. I have observed this dialog being effectively inoperative, but only on WinNT using my debug build (and often times downloading from the very same machine, which could exacerbate things). Previously, I observed this dialog coming up "empty" (a window frame with no content); remaining empty until the actual download to the temporary file had completed. I remember coming by your cube one day to demonstrate that "feature," BTW. But that was a temporary thing, I think. There was a point in time, if I recall correctly, where the file picker did not appear until the download was completed. I believe that that issue has been resolved. So my question: Is anybody still seeing instances of the Downloading dialog appearing empty or inoperative and remaining that way until the downloading has completed? If that problem persists, then I might suggest that we track it using this bug. If not, then this one should really be closed as WFM (since it isn't really a dup of a bug that talks about some other dialog being missing). But given that it is already "closed," in effect, the fact that it was closed differently is hardly worth worrying about (i.e., not a "[nsbeta3+] caliber" problem). The big issue is whether we can still reproduce the "frozen" Downloading dialog.

Has anyone got anything else to say on this bug? Seeing that bug 44176 is fixed, and if no one can see any incidents of this bug again then suggest it is either verified as a duplicate or marked WFM and verified as such.

vrfying since the problem itself seems to be gone no matter if it's a dup of the mentioned bug or not. reopening to close as worksforme seems to me to be a waste of bugmail.
