I have to minimize the program to see it. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Print button on toolbar -> Print... 2. Wait for a print options dialog box to come up 3. If none does, minimize Thunderbird Actual Results: No print options dialog box comes up Expected Results: The print options dialog box should have come up Extensions installed: *Minimize to Tray *Compact Menu
Summary: Print dialog gets hidden behind main mail window → Print options dialog gets hidden behind main mail window
Version: unspecified → 1.0
the "Status: Printing" dialog is not actually about sending the mail to the printer but about generating the "image" which is send to the printer. i cannot reproduce the bug. maybe you click on the thunderbird window between step 1 and 2 and that's why the print options dialog is not focused?
No, just tried printing the response to this bug and the options dialog came up behind the main mail window (had to minimize the main mail window).
I cannot reproduce this bug, i've tried: 1.0 (de-DE) 1.0.2 (en-US) 2005-03-21-05-trunk (en-US) on: Windows 2000 SP4 Windows XP SP2 Reporter: could you please try to reproduce the bug: a) with a new profile (without the extensions) b) with a new installation of Thunderbird
As a side note, this only seems to happen when I maximize Thunderbird, and I try clicking on menus and such and I get a long pause (maybe 5-10 seconds) before anything happens.
This cannot be reproduced with TBird 1.0.2 with a fresh profile or my own profile. Please see previous post for more info.
reporter: can you please mark this bug as WFM
