1849636 - Screenshot tool does not work while a modal <dialog> is open

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Screenshots, defect, P3)

Description

[Adrian]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/117.0

Steps to reproduce:

• Go to a page that uses a <dialog> for modal dialogs. https://wiki.selfhtml.org/extensions/Selfhtml/example.php/Beispiel:HTML-dialog-Element.html does the job.
• Open the modal
• Open the sceenshot tool (ctrl+shift+s or via menu) and try to select an area

Actual results:

The screenshot UI is behind the dialog's backdrop. In fact, after closing the dialog I can use it just fine

Expected results:

The screenshot UI should be in front of the dialog and backdrop, so I can take a screenshot of the dialog's contents (with or without parts of the backdrop).

I was able to reproduce the issue on Win10x64/Ubuntu 20.04 using FF build 117.0(20230821145345).
Marking issue as new.

I can confirm this is broken using the default/extension implementation, and fixed with the new implementation (set pref screenshots.browser.component.enabled to true in about:config).

This is fixed in the screenshots component. We enabled the component in bug 1870127
