I've noticed this problem only with the 1.4 RC1 and RC2 releases, not before,
I'm fairly sure.

I have unrequested pop-up windows disabled, however on the very occasional
website, this one I've found the problem consistently on:

http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/tng/wallpaper.html

(Apologies for the URL, what can I say, I'm a bit of a sad Tomb Raider fan)

If you left-click on one of the pictures of the downloadable wallpapers (note:
not the '1024x768' or '800x600' links, but the pictures themselves, a pop-up
window, showing a slightly bigger snapshot of the picture will be opened, as
requested.  However, if the window focus is taken from that window, and say back
to the original window, the pop-up window will disappear.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to specified URL
2.  Click on picture of downloadable wallpapers
3.  Watch snapshot load in pop-up window
4.  click on the original window, taking the focus from the pop-up
5.  watch pop-up disappear.

NOT A BUG.
If you check the HTML Source from the pop-up window (maximize the window and
right-click out of the picture) you'll see the _body_ tag.
Check that _onblur_ (focus loss) it has a self.close(). That's why it closes.

Regards,

Manuel

Oops, thanks :-)

What an odd thing to get a pop-up window to do.  Especially in this context.

Can we have an override for that? <waits to get slapped> :)
