11926 - window.opener is null

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 11927

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Syd Logan]

I created a window from JS using ShowWindowWithArgs (the window loaded xul). In
the onload handler for the xul window that was created, window.opener was set to
null.

Really a bug for joki. Either way, any bug report, however simple, should have
an attached test case. Sending back to Syd for a test case.

Place testload.xul (test file 2) and test.xul (test file 1) in
dist/bin/res/samples/ . Then, execute "apprunner
resource:/res/samples/testload.xul". In the onload handler for
test.xul, you will see the value of window.opener.

Well since it looks like ShowWindowWithArgs doesn't go through nsGlobalWindow at
all this is would qualify as appshell-fun, not DOM-fun.  Sending to danm since
he's at least touched the function in question and will know whether he owns it
or not.
