Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Help Viewer, defect)

Description

[Aaron Slunt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050620 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050620 Firefox/1.0+

If the help viewer is not minimized, and I choose to go to the browser window by
clicking on it in the taskbar, the help viewer fades as if it loses focus, but
the browser window does not come up, as if it's not receiving focus. Minimizing
is the only way to leave the help viewer open and get back to the browser window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open help viewer
2. Attempt to go to the browser window via taskbar
3.

Actual Results:  
Help viewer seems to have lost focus, but the browser window never comes up

Expected Results:  
Gave the browser window complete focus.

Aaron, I'm sorry for misleading you on this one. Firefox and Mozilla use
different help viewers, so this is a valid bug.

That's alright.

Jeff Walden pointed out to me that you can change this by using the context menu
in Help viewer to toggle "Always on top". He also says that the likelyhood of
this changing to not always on top by default is slim. So, WONTFIX or change
this to an enhancement?

By design, usability testing sez alwaysRaised is important.
