25867 - Database key dialog hides behind browser window

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 25684

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Nathan Kirkham]

Build 2000012520

When a user is needs to enter in form username/password details it prompts with
the enter database key dialog.  This dialog is modal withing the browser window
causing no clicks to be received by the HTML area.  If the user clicks on other
areas of the browser the dialog disappears behind the control.  There is no
indication that the dialog is visible, but the user is unable to navigate.
The task bar doesn't have a tab for the dialog, so there is no clue there either.
I would have expected that the clicking in the window blocked by this dialog
would cause the dialog to come to the fore.  Otherwise the user will thing the
browser has crashed in some way (as did I).  The reason this problem was worked
out was becuase the dialog stayed visible after all the browser windows had
closed, and kept the mozilla console open until it was closed.

This sounds like a well-known XPToolkit bug that's not specific to the database 
key dialog. I don't remember the bug number offhand.
 
Assigning to trudelle/paulmac who can probably resolve this as a duplicate really 
quickly.
