200397 - Alerts fail to close menu bar drops.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 157715

(Camino Graveyard :: Toolbars & Menus, defect)

Description

[Mike]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7

Select a menu bar item. Leave it open until the loading web page sends some kind
of drop down alert, a Cookie alert for example. The menu stays open, and
unavigable (if that's a word) until the alert drop down has been cleared.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have cookies set to ask each time.
2. Start loading a page that will send a cookie.
3. Open a menu bar item, Bookmarks for example.
4. When Camino ask you what you want to do with the cookie, the menu bar drop
down will stay down until you click yes or no in the cookie drop down.

Actual Results:  
You have a dead menu bar drop, that blocks the alert that has dropped down from
the title bar, until you can click in the alert.

Expected Results:  
The menu bar drop should have disapeared, or the alert should wait until the
menu item is no longer selected.

Attachment: testcase - forces an alert

this testcase pops up an alert shortly after page load. Load the page, then
view the Camino menu (cause its out of the way of the alert) to reproduce.

Confirming and switching component.

In private e-mail Mike says that the steps are out of order.  The intended order
is to load the page and then jump up to any menu item before the alert has a
chance to drop.

Confirming bug as of latest nightly (20040715) and checking status.

Also, if Alt-Tabbing between Camino and another app while the menu is frozen, where the 
menu should be is white, dead space (same bug?).
