Hi there,
Based on our project requirement, we open up Popup windows from our main page 
using the MyPopWin = window.open
(sUrl,'MyPopup',"dependent=yes,height=300,width=300");MyPopWin.focus();. 
Similarly for other options we open up the popup window in a different name.
On closing the parent window we wanted all these child windows to be closed, by 
employing dependent=yes.....we were able to achieve the closing of child 
windows once parent is closed.

But If we close any one of the popup the other popups go hidden if I minimize / 
maximize my Parent window then Iam able to view these child windows.
Please suggest me to overcome this issue.
Thanks and Regards
Gokul

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have a  parent window with frames.....Open pop up from parent window with 
dependent=yes.

2. Open other popups also 
3. Close a pop-up window.....
You can find the other popus to be missing(hidden).


Actual Results:  
The other popup windows which I haven't closed are missing.

Expected Results:  
We expect the other windows to stay in a minimized state as such, once we close 
any of the Popup Window.
