193198 - content area turns gray, close button does not work, cannot switch tabs or screens

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Rudas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

If I open another program and its window opens in front of a browser window, the
content window usually turns gray and stops responding.  It cannot be dismissed
with the window's "close" button or from the taskbar; I have to kill the
process.  If I do so using [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[Del], Mozilla shows as "not
responding."  At one point, it crashed after I opened WinAmp and I was able to
use the WinAmp window like an eraser as I moved it about the screen.  This is a
new behavior; I didn't see this under 1.3a or earlier versions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla.
2. Start another program that puts a window or screen in front of the browser
window.  Examples include AbiWord, WinAmp, and Internet Explorer
3. Minimize or dismiss the new window.
4. In nearly all cases, see the browser window gray and blank, except for the
title bar which is also gray.
Actual Results:  
Just as described.

Expected Results:  
Not locked up, of course.

Pinball theme - I have not tried any other yet.  Can I update this if I try
other things before dropping back to 1.2.1?  Also, I'm on DSL and using the Sun
JRE 1.4.1_01 JVM

Perhaps dupe of bug 192294?  Try today's (2003 02 13) build and see if this
problem goes away.

Wrong theme !

Are you sure that Pinball author released a 1.3beta compatible version of this
theme ?

Please try going back to modern or classic theme.

Or go to your profile, and delete your chrome directory. You will lost pinball
theme, but mozilla should work.

Closing this bug as invalid ?
