The bookmark sidebar retains focus when a dialogue box appears while dragging a
bookmark.
The firebird will not accept any mouse commands (clicks) but keybord works (tab
and enter to close the box that appeared)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The simple way to reproduce this problem

1) Turn on ask before accepting cookies
2) open bookmarks sidebar
3) open a site that has cookies and you do not have a rule set
4) right click and drag a bookmark until the cookie dialogue pops-up
5) program is unresponsive to the mouse, tab and enter works

Any dialogue box will work such as entering an invalid domain I used http://www..com
Actual Results:  
Firebird became unresponsive to mouse commands.

Expected Results:  
Mouse should be able to choose a selection from the dailouge box

Still present in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a)

Nominating for 1.0 blocker beacuse it leaves Firefox in a state that is
unresponsive to mouse inputs. It looks like it crashed when in fact it has not
crashed.

This seems kind of bad. Can we reconsider this for 1.0, please?

Minusing this for 1.0 -- it is pretty bad, but the fix is probably going to be
in the depths of the widget code.  Too scary to touch this close to 1.0.
