20708 - Dialog appears before it has been properly initialized

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P4)

Description

[Kathleen :Brade]

With debug build from this morning on Mac, when I choose quit or close from a
menu for a composer window, I get a dialog asking me for a login and password and
with a check box.

Kin sees this on Windows so changing platform/os

This is happening all around the application in the 19991203xx builds. This is a
severe bug as it prevents you from doing many important things such as:
- entering a password to view your mailbox
- single signon / wallet operations
- etc.

Christopher, are you seeing this on the commercial build?

Comment 4

[cpratt]

I'm seeing this on the commercial builds on Linux (all three from today,
12/1/99), Mac OS, and Win32. I have not tested Mozilla builds.

Comment 5

[rubydoo123]

Simon, can you check this one out?

Comment 6

[cpratt]

Using today's (19991206) builds, this dialog appears only briefly (very briefly
on faster machines and Win32) before it's replaced by the correct dialog.

Yes, I see this. This is almost certainly NOT my bug, but I guess I'll look into
it.

Comment 8

[Kathleen :Brade]

This is now fixed for me.
I think this was another one of the side effects from Travis' checkins on Friday.

brade: it still happens if you use the Close menu item; the password dialog

flashes up. Maybe this is a wallet dialog?

Comment 10

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

The problem here is that the window morphs after it is made visible. This is a
known issue, bug unknown

Comment 11

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

Reassign to damn, since the problem is that the window has been made visible too
early.

Comment 12

[Peter Trudelle]

Is this only happening in debug builds? I know the original writeup says debug,
bug CPratt mentions what sound like the daily opt builds. I'm not seeing it in
today's opt bits.

Comment 13

[cpratt]

This is happening in normal (non-debug) builds. Originally (Dec 3), the dialog (I think it said Simple Title?) would stick around forever; now (Dec 6), it just appears and disappears
very quickly (on a very fast machine, it might just look like a quick flash).

Comment 14

[Peter Trudelle]

If all that happens is a quick flash, then the severity should be greatly
reduced. assigning to danm as p4 for m15

Comment 15

[cpratt]

Reducing severity (when this originally happened, it was indeed a big problem,
but it isn't so bad now).

Comment 16

[Dan M]

I can't see this in today's build. The time of initial window visibility has been 
pushed out in the time between this bug's filing and now. Anyone?

Comment 17

[sujay]

I don't see this anymore....Kathy reopen if you still see this...
