195738 - Changing color scheme or GUI appearance on XP pops up all minimized mozilla windows

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 169582

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[s.schaefer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5

On Windows XP: right click the desktop and go to display properties. Click
appearance and toggle between Windows XP style and classic style. Press apply.
Mozilla becomes topmost window.
The same when changing the color scheme, e.g., Control Panel->Accessibility
Options->Display->High Contrast.
I guess changing the color scheme will also show this problem on other Windows
versions.

Please avoid bringing mozilla to front on a settings change.

Confirming with build 2003030208 and Windows XP SP1.

But this bug doesn´t exactly bring one Mozilla window to front but instead pops
up all open Mozilla windows that were minimized to the taskbar (tested with two
Navigator- and one Mail/News-window). Do you see the same s.schaefer?

This also happens when you change the font size in the Appearance pane of the
Windows XP display properties.

You're right. It only occurs when the windows were minimized during the settings
change.

Marking as NEW and changing the summary to reflect comment #1 and #2.

Just to note that I see this on Windows 2000 as well.  All minimized windows pop
up, though it seems to happen only when font size/style is changed.
