306808 - modal dialog after window.open() stops script execution silently in single window mode

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 304442

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[shutdown]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050901 Firefox/1.0+

In single window mode, opening a modal dialog (alert, prompt, etc.)
after window.open() stops execution of the running script silently.

Steps:
1. load javascript: open(); alert("one"); alert("two");
2. (a new tab and the alert dialog with the message "one" open.)
3. close the alert dialog.

When single window mode is disabled, you see the alert dialog with the message
"two" after step 3. But when single window mode is enabled, you will not see it.

I can not reproduce the problem. Both alerts appears, one after the other.
I get this exception though in the js console:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMWindowInternal.focus]"  nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://global/content/bindings/tabbrowser.xml :: setFocus :: line 726"  data: no]

which I do not get when single window mode is disabled.

I discovered that this bug appears only in the specific condition.

[CASE-1]

Steps:
1. load this bug.
2. click the "URL" link.

Results:
It always works as expected. I see the both alerts.
Also, I see an error in the JS console.

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)
[nsIDOMWindowInternal.focus]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"
location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/tabbrowser.xml :: setFocus :: line 726"  data: no]

[CASE-2]

Steps:
1. load this bug.
2. bookmark the "URL" link.
3. open the bookmark created in the step 2 from the bookmark menu.
   in other words, execute the script as a bookmarklet.

Alternative steps:
1. load this bug.
2. copy the location of the "URL" link. then, paste it into the location bar.
3. press the enter key.

Results:
I see only the first alert if single window mode is enabled.

Reproducible with Mozilla 1.8b1, Deer Park a2 and SeaMonkey/20050902 but I only
see the error message (from Case-1) with Deer Park a2.
