Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Ger Teunis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2

When "Force links that open new windows to op in" is set to "a new tab" the
'Show popup' breaks (very bad). 
The first use of Show popup (lower right corner) will show the popup but will
disable keyboard input. 
The keyboard focus is still on the invisible "Show popup" menu or sometimes will
crash browser on keypress.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set "Force links that open new windows to op in" to "a new tab"
2. open a site with popups (like www.NGemu.com)
3. click on lower-right popup icon and use "Show...(popupname)"
4. Now try to Show it again! (step 4 again)
5. Try to enter URL or pressing some keys

Actual Results:  
Keyboard input is ignored, sometimes the pressed key is used to open a menu-item
in de (invisible) Show Popup menu.

Expected Results:  
The Show popup menu should be still working and keyboard should be usable.

Pressing keys when the popup opened from www.ngemu.com is focussed will crash
the browser.

Comment 2

[Ger Teunis]

The www.ngemu.com popups are too aggressive (fullscreen resize etc)
Please use: http://www.popuptest.com/popuptest1.html

I think might be Windows only. I've submitted the talkback data.
(you have to press a key on the manually opened tab to crash the browser)

Confirmed using Firefox 1.0RC2 on Windows XP. With new windows forced into tabs,
go to http://www.popuptest.com/popuptest1.html and use the popup icon menu to
open one of the six blocked popups. The window opens into a new tab. At this point:

* With the popup tab active, press any key. Firefox crashes.
* With the first (popuptest1.html) tab active, a mouseclick on the popup
  icon has no effect. If you press any key that corresponds to
  a shortcut in the popup icon menu (P, E, or D in English versions),
  the corresponding menu command is executed. Now a mouseclick on
  the popup icon once again opens the menu. Return to the popup tab and
  type a key, Firefox crashes.

Note Firefox Aviary 20041108 behaves rather differently. It won't crash and
keystrokes won't execute the menu commands. It seems an errant context menu has
been properly closed. However from now on the popup icon menu ignores
mouseclicks. It appears there's nothing you can do to ever get the popup icon
menu to open again in that window. I'm adjusting this bug's summary and
downgrading its severity to reflect the state of current builds.

The difference between RC2 and 20041108 is likely to be the checkin for bug 266822

Crashing seems to be fixed(?), but still not opening a popup on first tab after
opening one.

Sorry for requesting for blocking-aviary1.1.
This bug is 1.0 Branch only, the trunk builds do not have this bug.
So it will not block the 1.1 release at all (1.1 will branch from the current
trunk right?)
Should I nominate it for 1.0.2?

Well, either way, 1.0.x has left the building.
