User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Galeon/1.3.18.99

If a page closes itself on onblur, and it has a file input field, the window
closes when clicking the Browse... button. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the testcase http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=33208&action=view
2. Click on the link therein to open the popup
3. Click the Browse button

Actual Results:  
The gtk+ filepicker opens, and the window closes.

Expected Results:  
The filepicker opens and the window stays open too.

This only happens with the native gtk+ file picker; the xul filepicker works as
expected.

More GTK filepicker fun for you, Chris.

Verified.

This same problem was fixed for Windows in Bug 68454. In that bug, they made a
change to the nsWindow.cpp code for windows to suppress blur events while the
filepicker is showing.

The bug assignee didn't login in Bugzilla in the last 7 months.

AFAIK outdated. Please reopen if you want to work on that.
