26082 - Task switcher does not cycle through open windows on Linux

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Tracking, defect, P4)

Description

[Claudius Gayle]

Overview Description:

  Clicking on the little navigator icon on the task switcher toolbar (on the bottom) fails to cycle through open browser windows.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Launch browser

2) Open a new window (total of 2 or more)

3) Click on the navigator icon.



Actual Results:

        The console prints out:
got window Manager
got interface
got windows
topWindowOfType = [object window]
find topmost window
Give focus to next window in the list
focusing window

And after all that - nothing happens

Expected Results:
        All of the above plus maybe the next window in the cycle
comes to front.

Build Date & Platform Bug Found: 

Linux RH6 2000020110.


Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On: 

same build on NT tested just fine.

alomost certain this is going to get the pdt-, but i need you to go through the motions anyway. I have beta status docs that say 
this is supposed to work for beta and if it's not then they need to say that pdt has looked at it and decided no, aka pdt-.

I think bug 28626 and bug 26082 are either dupes of or depend on ancient bug 8002. I'm partial to depends just to preserve the 
test cases but whatever we can jsut note it there. Mcafee, I'm leaving it to you to say if these are dupes.

Pav, I'm re-assigning this to you since:

    1) You already own bug #8002 (which this is likely a dup of), and ...
    2) McAfee is leaving for sabbatical and will never get to fix this in time

as soon as I fix 8002, this will be fixed.... I don't know when i'll get to fix
8002 though.. it has some interesting problems.

P4.  Works sometimes, usually not, but can switch windows using other means.

Comment 15

[Peter Trudelle]

We are not committing to fix this bug for N6.

Comment 16

[Peter Trudelle]

Mass-moving P4/P5 bugs to Future milestone.  We just don't have any time left
for these, although we could still consider taking a good patch.  Adding
Helpwanted keyword.
