140174 - when opening pages in a new window, they take control of the view upon finishing loading

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 134317

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian Williams]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020403
BuildID:    2002040303

When I am reading a web page, I will frequently open a link in a new window,
then switch back to the one I was viewing before to finish reading the page. 
The problem is that once the other page has finished loading, it appears on top
of the current one, interrupting my reading/filling out forms.  If this is
simply a preference option, I certainly haven't found how to turn it off.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to www.google.com
2.Right-click the "advanced search" link and open it in a new window
3.When the window opens, return to the original window and wait.  Once the new
window has finished opening, it will take over the view.

Actual Results:  The new window overrode the one I was currently viewing.

Expected Results:  It should have left the other window out of my view until I
selected it.
