205303 - Installer steals focus from other windows repeatedly and needlessly during installation

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 47762

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Robert Moir]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

When installing Mozilla, the install "progress bar" routine steals focus away
from whatever software you are currently working on while leaving mozilla in the
background. This is _absolutely infuriating_ when you are trying to type
something into another window and constantly get interupted by a self important
installer window that doesn't actually want you to do something with it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Setup
2. Choose Options as you like, it doesn't matter
3. Let installer progress to the installation progress bars - then open some
other software such as notepad and just try to type something without getting
needless interuptions from the install progress window forcing itself into focus.

Actual Results:  
Install progress window repeatedly forces itself as the window with focus,
without needing any actual interaction that might just justify this.

Expected Results:  
Not forced its install progress window into focus. At least not without some
kind of reason to do it.
