178865 - Security Error Dialog Box should be sheet in OS X (regression from Mozilla 1.1)

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Chris Blackstone]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021104 Chimera/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021104 Chimera/0.6

When I log in to my IMAP mail server over SSL, I get a Server Error every time
indicating that the certificate is unknown.

Under Mozilla 1.1, that Security Error was displayed as an OS X sheet, attaching
itself to the mail Mail/News window
Under Mozilla 1.2, that Security Error dialog box is displayed as a dialog box,
separating it from the mail Mail/News window and allowing itself to be hidden by
other windows, which is very frustrating

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to SSL email server
2. Security Error appears
3.

Actual Results:  
Security Error dialog box appears as dialog box

Expected Results:  
Security Error dialog box should appear as an OS X sheet

This bug is OS X only
This bus is a regression from Mozilla 1.1

Chris, Mozilla 1.2 does not yet exist. What Mozilla build ID are you using that
you think is 1.2?

Comment 4

[Chris Blackstone]

Ok, sorry, 1.2b

This only happens with the Classic Theme

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
