195180 - Spurious copy of Composer window remains after sending email

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 187286

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[Daren Scot Wilson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (BeOS; U; BeOS BePC; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030112

When i click on a mailto: link on any web page, a Composer pops up -- good!  But
after I write my message and click the Send button, a flaky duplicate window
remains behind.  It never becomes active - its border remains the inactive
color. Its widgets never get focus or function.  The close button does not work.
Oddly, the menu does work, and the Send and other buttons depress, but such
events tend to remove focus (or in some way make disfunctional) other Mozilla
windows, but this problem goes away easily if click in or tab key in those other
windows in the 'right' combination.    Otherwise, all other Mozilla windows
continue to act normally, and further composer windows may be opened w/o problem
except for making more flaky duplicates.   Problem does not impede productive
work with Mozilla.   

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any html file with a mailto: link 
2. click it
3. write any message, with subject and to: filled in
4. Send it
5. Examine windows on desktop - you'll find a doppleganger!

Actual Results:  
Spurious duplicate window remains where original composer window had been

Expected Results:  
Composer window should disappear after Send button is clicked and mail protocol
mechanism has done it bit flinging, leaving no residue anywhere on the desktop

Havent' tried opening an email composer with the menu or starting up Mozilla
with only a composer window; suspect same result
