28383 - Main window appears behind other windows

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 26581

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[David Charlap]

(This was seen on buld number 2000021715 - downloaded 18-Feb-2000)

Open a few large windows (from anything) to clutter up the desktop.  Now launch 
Mozilla.

The splash window appears above all the other windows, as it should.

When the splash window is removed, the main browser window appears below the 
other desktop windows.

Note that merely raising the window when it is opened may not be the right 
thing.  With most Windows apps, the main window will open above other windows if 
there is no user interaction after giving the launch command, but will open 
under others if the user starts using another application during that time.

I think Windows does this automatically for the first window opened - 
unfortunately, that's the splash window in our case, so it may require a little 
more code.  Perhaps we can check if the splash window is still above all 
non-topmost windows and raise the browser window only if it is.

Good points that maybe should be entered into bug 26581, which this bug 
duplicates.
