184240 - Window "Mozilla Setup - Start Install" stays 'imprinted' into the underlaying window after been closed for download

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 76467

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Vlada Macek]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

1) Click, click, click a configure installation in the Netinstaller's "Mozilla
Setup" subpages. Everything's normal.
2) Click "Install" and the next window with download components progressbar is
displayed and working correctly.
3) But there is a remaining 'snapshot' of the previous "Mozilla Setup" window
imprinted into the underlaying windows (whatever it was, Windows Commander,
Explorer...)
4) When the underlaying window is anyhow forced by the user to redraw itself,
the ghost image expectedly disappears.

I don't know for sure whether this is a problem in Mozilla or not (it could be
Windows, of course:), but on Windows things like this happen so rare and I
cannot remember such case in the past.

I don't know much about programming for MS Windows, but couldn't this be matter
of some forgotten redraw message?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Described in the Details section.
Actual Results:  
After redrawing the underlaying window, all worked normally.


Expected Results:  
I expect windows supposed to disappear when not needed will disappear. :-)
