Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Johan Björk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

Having two firefox windows open, one with the "print" dialog open. In the other
window, if you do some appropiate action to get the 
"Opening <filename.xyz>"
"You have choosen to open 
<icon> <filename.xyz>
--- ...
| What should firefox do with this file..
| Open With (...)
| Save to Disk 
...
dialog, all the buttons will be "clickable" but will result in no action until
you close the printdialog.

I also tried this at a friends house who where using the latest RC, He had a
diffrent but still very odd problem when having the printer dialog open, the
file in the download manager was there and started downloading, but it was
"invisible" until he closed the printer dialog.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open two firefox windows.
2. In window (1) open up the print dialog using <file->Print...>
3. In window (2) try to download/open any file that brings up the dialog in
question (See full details, don't know the name of it and it won't popup on all
files depending on your browser configuration)
4. Try to click any of the buttons.

Actual Results:  
None of the buttons in the open dialog worked.

Expected Results:  
The behavior should be the same as when not having any dialog open in another
browser window.
