(Camino Graveyard :: Bookmarks, defect)

Description

[Brian Landers]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021014 Chimera/0.5+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021014 Chimera/0.5+

When Popup Blocking is enabled, bookmarklets are prevented from using
window.open to spawn a new window.  This breaks many bookmarklets under Chimera.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
How to reproduce:

1) enable Popup Blocking in Preferences -> Web Features
2) create new bookmark in the Toolbar Bookmarks folder called "Test"
3) Get Info on the bookmark and change the Location to read as follows

javascript:void(window.open('http://www.mozilla.org','foo','scrollbars=no,width=400,height=460,status=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes'))

4) Click the "Test" bookmark in your toolbar.  Note that no popup appears
5) Disable popup blocking in Preferences -> Web Features
6) Click the "Test" bookmark in your toolbar.  Note that the popup appears.
Actual Results:  
New window generated by bookmarklet did not appear when Popup blocking is enabled.

Expected Results:  
New window generated by bookmarklet should appear, even with popup blocking enabled.
