198587 - Full Screen Hides Mozilla Window in 1.3

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Simon Horton]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

I was using Mozilla 1.2.1 then upgraded to 1.3, now if I press F11 (i.e. full
screen) then the task bar disapears (not a bug) but also the Mozilla window
disapears! 
I have checked and this behaviour also happens if you select View->Full Screen
from the menu. If I have more than one open window then only the currently
active window disapears (not any other open windows). This didn't happen when I
had 1.2 installed. 

If I then press F11 (i.e. leave Full Screen Mode) the taskbar appears again
together with the Mozilla window.

I have tried a whole number of different websites: both on local disk and on my
apache webserver and internet sites, the problem always happens and appears to
have nothing to do with the particular page I am viewing.

I am using the Modern Theme with no modifications.

Opening the JavaScript Console doesn't show any error messages. Likewise the
JavaScript Debugger does not report any problems or errors.

I have Windows XP Home Edition: Build 2600.xpsp1.0202828-1920, on a Toshiba
Laptop, Mobile Pentium 4, 1.70GHz, 256MB of RAM.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press F11 / Select View->Full Screen from the menu
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
Taskbar disapears (that is not a bug), but also mozilla window disapears (not
displayed on the screen anymore).

Expected Results:  
Displayed the webpage in a really cool way with little back/forward buttons at
the top of the screen.

I have Windows XP Home Edition: Build 2600.xpsp1.0202828-1920, on a Toshiba
Laptop, Mobile Pentium 4, 1.70GHz, 256MB of RAM.

Reporter: Is this still a problem with a current Mozilla build?

I also reported that in another case (generated a duplicate, ****. but it's
marked already as a duplicate of this call. :-) ) I'm using

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803

and I've never seen the problem again. For me the problem doesn't exist anymore.
