Screenshot of the duplication of Preferences windows
6.96 KB, image/png
Details 
Steps to reproduce:
1- Open the Preferences window and change category, open a sub-category
2- Click the OK buttom

Actual results: the Preferences window does not fully close as it remains
somewhat transparent. Also, thanks to "Show Chrome javascript errors and
warnings" checkbox checked, I can see this error report in the console:

Error: Error in parsing value for property 'background-color'.  Declaration dropped.
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/pref-viewing_messages.xul
Line: 0

Reopening the Preferences window brings up another preferences window. I was
able to have up to 5 distinct Preferences window. (Screenshot coming)

Expected results: the Preferences window should close normally.

Seamonkey 1.1a rv: 1.9a1 build 2005090105 under XP Pro SP2 here.

Preferences window instance do not close normally
Newer steps to reproduce (B-24 of smoketest at
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/smoketests/#browser):
1- Select Edit | Preferences... to bring up the Preferences dialog.
2- Select the Navigator category in the left panel, which should display the
Navigator preferences in the right panel.
3- Make sure that the "Home page" radio button is selected, under the "Navigator
starts with" section.
4- In the "Home page" section, enter "http://www.mozilla.org/quality/" (without
the quotes, of course) in the textfield.
5- Click OK to save the changes and dismiss the Preferences dialog.

Actual results: the Preferences dialog window is not dismissed.

Note: the parsing error about "background-color" in
chrome://messenger/content/pref-viewing_messages.xul is not reported
consistently, often in the js console.

wfm Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050903 SeaMonkey/1.1a

classic theme, tested according to steps from comment 0 and comment 2.
Sometimes reproducible with SeaMonkey/20050903. I believe I saw this first in
earlier builds but it seemed random.
I also see this.  Seamonkey 9/3 - 05 build.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
I'm using the Modern theme, if that's significant.
Also bug 307194: same symptoms. 
I've also seen the same symptoms when a modal window (not the download manager
window but the window appearing before) asking what to do: open or save.
It's possible this bug is related to bug 307153 which was fixed today.
I'll try tomorrow's nightly build to see if the problem still occurs.
Lastest Tinderbox build (9/7-17) still has this problem.
"Latest"...
Hmm.  I can't reproduce the problem after the first time it happened.  I also
noticed that the Bookmark menu items, when I scrolled through them, would
flicker sometimes, other times freeze just like this bug.  I may be experiencing
something else, that's only simlilar, recently introduced by the Tinderbox build.
The problem is still there in Seamonkey 1.1a rv:1.9a1 build 20050908: after
making some changes in the Prefs window, it does not close properly.

To best reproduce the bug, one needs to open, close a few categories (eg
Navigator, Appearance, Advanced, etc) and then make a few changes in the prefs
settings.
I read 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Mozilla%20Application%20Suite#XP%20Apps
and
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/browser/navigator-who2bug.html#prefs
and I'm not sure if Component field should be XP Apps: GUI features
Whiteboard: See also bug 307563, bug 307194
As of the 9/8-06 nightly build, the problem is now completely gone for me - no
matter how many times I try to get it to happen.  What I was experiencing with
the earlier Tinderbox build (along with the flickering / freezing Bookmarks
menu) isn't happening any more.  In previous builds, the problem would happen
100% of the time.

Gerard, I didn't see the bug in my comment 4, using win98 and classic theme.
Jason did see the bug using modern theme on an unknown OS.

Do you use modern theme, do you use extensions?
Does anybody see the bug on classic theme or other OS than windows?

Yes.

And it still happens in Seamonkey 1.1a rv: 1.9a1 build 2005091105, even with a
brand new profile that uses no extension. I was able to have 3 Preferences
window opened.

Even bug 307194 still happens too in build 20050901105.

I'll check/try with classic theme.
It happens in Classic theme too and with a brand new profile too. I do not even
have to make any changes in any category. I just have to change category and
click OK but I have to do this 3 or 4 times. The bug is not reproducible 100%: I
can not find a precise, specific set of steps to reproduce. 

I can reproduce it when switching category and clicking OK and if the
Preferences window closes, then I can try again and usually at the 3rd or 4th
attempt or so, the Preferences window remains opened.

This even happens with Firefox 1.4.1 rv: 1.8b5 build 20051007 for the "Report a
Broken Site" window. Steps: click the "Report a Broken Site" button and then
click the cancel button in the window. You may have to repeat/try a few times:
it's not always reproducible.
Duping to bug 307563, dedupe if the patch doesn't fix this.
