Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Camino Graveyard :: OS Integration, defect)

While printing seems to work fine in the latest nightlies, there seems to be a
problem with Panther's fax feature. 
Sending a fax works fine when you type the fax number manually, but it is not
possible to select a fax number from the OS X address book (see the description
below).
The problem is not limited to Camino, however -- I can reproduce it in TeXShop
as well, but not in any other app I have tried.
I have no problems with normal printing, printing to PDF or preview in the print
dialogue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select the Print... command
2. Click the "Fax..." button
3. Click the "Address book" button in the top right corner
Actual Results:  
The address book list appears *behind* the fax dialogue and cannot be accessed.
(You can select the "Cancel" button to close the fax dialogue at this point.)

Expected Results:  
The address book list should appear in front of the fax dialogue and it should
be possible to selct fax numbers and return to the fax dialogue.

Several people in the MacOS X LaTeX discussion list
<http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/> have confirmed the problem for TeXShop.

this is not an 0.9 showstopper

Is there an "easy" way to reproduce this on Tiger?

This plays out differently for me in 10.3.9.  The AB panel appears to the left
of and above the Print/Fax dialogue but never really gets focus/activated. 
Anything I type (the search field of the panel has a focus ring) shows up in the
focused field of the Print/Fax dialogue, and trying to click buttons or select
things in the panel just causes beeps.  

Stickies behaves the same way, but it works in TextEdit; Stickies (like Camino)
uses a Print dialogue; TextEdit use a print *sheet*.  Er, that's not it.  Eudora
uses a dialogue and works, too.

sounds like this is an interaction with the carbon print code vs the cocoa print
code.

This doesn't caused a locked state issue (you can click back to the print dialogue and cancel)--and stuff I "type" in the AB panel search field no longer ends up in the print dialogue--but the feature still does not work as designed.

Removing from the locked state tracker.

Mass-reassign of bugs still assigned to pinkerton to nobody; filter on "NoMoPinkBugsInCamino".

Bye-bye 10.3.
