269235 - About dialog does not pop up when calendar has it's about window open

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Martin Bagge / brother]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.9

When the calendar has got it's about dialog opened TB can't show it's about
dialog, it just loads in the same window and stays under the aplication

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open calendar (the extension)
2. Open Calendar's about dialog (and leave it open)
3. Go to thunderbird and open the about dialog, it will load within the same
window as calendars about window

Actual Results:  
TB's about dialog was loaded in the calendar's about dialog. they don't use the
same sizes and it looked kinda weird. The best part was that the window was
brought to the front, it stayed behind TB's main window.

Expected Results:  
Resized about dialog, or even better a new about dialog, brought in front of the
main window of TB.

This might be bigger than just calender + TB related, maybe the same behaviour
exists in FF+cal (or other extension)?

The old Mozilla Calendar extension was abandoned back in 2005 and replaced by the Lightning extension. The 'About Lightning' and the 'About Thunderbird' dialog can be opened at the same time.

Thunderbird 2.0.0.13pre (20080229) + Lightning 0.8pre (2008022908) on WinXP.
