273577 - When popping up a window with Javascript, Firefox visually pops the window up full size and then resizes it

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jason Pfeil]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041119 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041119 Firefox/1.0

At the URL provided,
http://cosmos.jasonpfeil.com/~pfeil/firefox_window_resize_issue.html, when the
user clicks on the "TEST" link, a window that is the same size as the parent
window is displayed by firefox and then shrunk down to the 200x275 size that is
requested in the Javascript on the page.

Firefox should resize the window to the proper size and move it to the proper
location *before* mapping it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://cosmos.jasonpfeil.com/~pfeil/firefox_window_resize_issue.html
2. Click on the "TEST" link
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox pops up a new window the same size as the parent window, moves it to the
new location, and resizes the window.  All of which is visible to the user when
it shouldn't be.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should create the window at the correct location and with the correct
dimensions *before* mapping the window.  Once the window has been created with
the proper dimensions and location on the screen, Firefox should map the window.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
