Maybe a different bug, maybe the same one......

Linux Mozilla 1.0RC2 running to a Solaris X-server:

Follow the instructions above to get a cookie-accept popup. Then minimize the
browser. Then unminimise it. The cookie-accept popup has disappeared but all
input is still locked. Its waiting for you to click on accept/reject, but the
popup is nowhere on the screen to click!

This will be a generic problem with alerts, not a cookie problem. --> XP 
Toolkit/Widgets.

This bug was filed and reproduced with Mozilla 1.0RC2, which was released on 
2002-05-10. A much-dupped bug matching this description was fixed on
2002-04-30, bug 65521. Which, in theory, means this isn't a duplicate. Can 
anyone reproduce this in a (much) more recent build?

wfm, current linux branch and trunk builds. second browser fully interactive
while window modal cookie dialog is up in first window. (And I can't reproduce
that second (totally unrelated, I must say) comment).
