139265 - Window underneath preferences dialog popping to foreground after adding new type to helper applications

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Raf Geens]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417
BuildID:    2002041711

Pretty much whenever adding a new type to the helper applications and then
somehow making use of the "Choose" button in the "New Type" dialog, the window
underneath the preferences dialog pops to the foreground. Usually this window is
the main Mozilla window and so the preferences dialog seems to disappear, while
it's really in the background.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new helper application type, and enter something random as a MIME-type
2. Click on the "Choose" button and then on the cancel button(it doesn't seem to
matter whether you actually select a helper application or not).
3. Click on "OK" in the "New Type" dialog

Actual Results:  In my case, this made the window underneath the preferences
dialog pop to the foreground, every time I did it.

Probably important note: there is one case where this doesn't happen while using
the "Choose" button:
1. Create a new helper application, but this time don't enter a MIME-type (at
this point it doesn't seem to matter if you use the "Choose" button or not)
2. Click the "OK" button, this will give an error message stating that a
MIME-type needs to be entered
3. If you now enter a MIME-type,use the "Choose" button and then OK the "New
Type" dialog, the preferences dialog behaves normally

I've also tested this on the Linux version: it doesn't happen there.

[Kai Lahmann (is there, where MNG is)]

Reporter: Can you reproduce this bug with a recent build of Mozilla (for
example, 1.4 RC1)? If so, then please comment again with details. If not, then
please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks.

I've tried this with 1.4a, and the bug isn't occuring anymore.
