290512 - 'Sending message' dialog should be attached to the message window.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Not interested in Mozilla any more]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050401
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050401

The sending message dialog currently appears as a seperate standalone dialog
box. On the mac (under OSX) such dialogs should be attached to the window to
which they belong. It can be very confusing when sending very large emails and
you switch focus away from the message windows when you return you cannot always
figure out which window the dialog belongs to.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose a new email and attach a very large file
2. Send the email so someone
3. A dialog box appears
4. Use Command-` to switch between the windows, repeat a few times
5. Now select a window from the window menu
6. Use Command-` to switch between the windows, often the order of the windows
has now changed.

Actual Results:  
The 'sending message' dialog is seperate from the actual message that it is sending.

Expected Results:  
The 'sending message' dialog should belong to the email it's sending, much in
the same way that 'mail and newsgroup account settings' dialog belongs to the
mail window.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Rainer, "IDontUseMozillaAnyMore" I don't think he uses Thunderbird either.

Never confirmed by a second user, No response, so I close this one for now.

@Reporter/all: Please feel free to reopen this Bug if you still can reproduce the problem with a current SeaMonkey version and a current OS and if you can contribute a step by step instruction due to <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Bug_writing_guidelines>  (containing every key press and every mouse click) how to reproduce the problem reliably.
