171227 - Proxy authentication dialog box and browser focus problem

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Dustin Rue]

I use Windows 2000 SP3 with dual monitors and an authenticated proxy

More often than not, when opening a new browsing session the proxy
authentication dialog box opens as expected and appears to have focus.  But when
I try to type, nothing happens and the computer beeps at me (it doesn't know
what to do with my keystrokes).  Workaround: focus a different application and
return to Mozilla, enter proxy username password and press enter.  Upon pressing
enter, Mozilla again loses focus and the last focused application gets focus again.

I search for this problem for 15 minutes and found other focus issues but none
that made mozilla "seem stuck"

What build are you using?   Is the authentication done with java?

Comment 2

[Dustin Rue]

Sorry, build 2002092708 and I am not using Java, it's configured within the
preferences dialog

Also, this has been happening for me since the 1.0 release for sure.
