203400 - Sidebar's add/manage buttons opens a new window rather than bring existing one to front

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Chris Petersen]

Build: 2003-04-25-08
Platform: All
Expected Results: The existing File bookmarks or manage bookmarks window that is
opened should come to the front of the window stacking order
What I got: A new window is opened. The previous window that was opened remains
in the background.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open sidebar and click on Bookmarks.
2) Click on either the Add or Manage buttons
3) The corresponding window should open (File Bookmarks (Add) or Manage
bookmarks (Manage) )
4) Now , click on the browser window so that it becomes the foreground window.
5) Click on the same button you did previously in Bookmarks sidebar (Add or Manage)
6) Instead of bring the existing window to the front , it creates a new one. So
basically you have two copies of the same window opened at this point.

I think it makes sense to have multiple "File Bookmark" dialogs open at the same
time. Otherwise you would lose the URL of the first bookmark you wanted to file
when you hit the "Add" button for a second time.

I have a fix for the "Manage" button in the patch for bug 93212.
