1530026 - Crash reporter behind other windows

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, defect, P3)

Description

[Andrew Overholt [:overholt]]

If I trigger a parent process crash with about:crashparent, the resulting crash reporter application window is not top-most (i.e. other windows are on top of it). I'm not sure if this is ARM64-specific.

Seems similar to bug 1498433 but for Windows (or WoA?).

Comment 1

Confirmed to not be ARM64-specific.

Can we perhaps try this again with the new crash reporter client? I think this is likely fixed. I have only seen it placed as the top-most window on all platforms.

Andrew, does this still reproduce?

Andrew, does this still reproduce?

I was able to verify that with 128.0.3 it does not reproduce (granted, it's now Windows 11 but the same hardware). Thanks!

One minor nit: the crash reporter text looks a bit blurry like it's the wrong DPI or something.

Marking this as fixed. IIRC we don't have full hi-DPI support just yet, that'd be bug 1521450.

WRT DPI, I did follow all guidance from Windows docs in the latest iteration of the crash reporter client, however "it's complicated" and I suspect those docs might be missing newer details.
