Cannot switch to another tab. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open two tabs 2.Open a modal window in one tab 3.Switch to the other tab Actual Results: Cannot switch to the other tab Expected Results: Switch to the other tab
An example of a modal window could be the Help->About box. This is not related to tab switching. It's rather the concept of modal windows you don't like. Notice that nothing else outside the modal window works, not just the tab switching.
Because the dialogs are windows modal, not tab modal. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 123913 ***
