122541 - Title bar flashes endlessly on XP

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 116074

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.8+)

When running Mozilla on Windows XP, the Mozilla title bar and frame around the
window (owned by the OS) flash endlessly, as well as the icon in the taskbar. 
XP uses this to signify that an app's window has changed significantly since the
last time the app has had focus, but Mozilla on XP doesn't stop this incessant
flashing after giving focus to Mozilla.  Note this only applies to the first
Mozilla-window - if you create new Mozilla windows (via File -> New Navigator
Window), they don't exhibit this problem.

This is incredibly annoying - I'm considering going back to IE.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Mozilla on Windows XP.
2. Notice Mozilla's title bar blinks.
3. Give focus to Mozilla.  This stops the blinking on all well-behaved Windows
programs, except Mozilla.


Actual Results:  Mozilla's title bar & window border flash annoyingly &
indefinitely, even after receiving focus.  It's a lot like the blink tag, only
in your browser itself instead of on a page.

Expected Results:  Mozilla's title bar should stop blinking when given the focus.
