135195 - Mail Compose window goes to the back frequently when I click New Msg

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 135528

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

Using build 20020402 on winxp (I don't see this on linux 4-1 build and haven't
tried mac yet), the Compose window goes to the back as soon as it's brought up.
 Very annoying, not sure when this started.  I turned off the recycled compose
window, but it still happens just harder to reproduce.  I thought autocomplete
was causing this because it only seem to happen if I typed in the addressing
field of  the previous Compose window, but that didn't stop the problem.
Easiest way to see this, but not necessary:
Make sure recycled compose window pref is on if you have edited your pref to
turn it off.
Have autocomplete on in your addressing preferences.

1. Launch app (not in turbo mode)
2. Open mail and log into a mail account (not necessary, but I did this)
3. Click on New Msg, type in an email address letting it autocomplete then File
Close.
4. Repeat step 3 again.  This usually does it for me, the New Msg window pops up
then immediately moves to the back. Sometimes I have to repeat step 3 again to
see this.  I will investigate more to see what's triggering this.
Note: when testing variations, I noticed this never happen if I entered text in
 the subject or body of the message only (meaning no text entered in addressing
field). Somehow it seems to be triggered by the Addressing pane.

This is very annoying and is regression, nominating.

Is this possibly related to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134317
where when another window finishes loading something it goes to the front?

This is a dup of 135528.

scott, sujay told me it was a dup of of 135528, I think that's right since it
doesn't go to the back until you start typing in the addressing field
(autocompele is started).
