No bug, as far as my simple tests can tell.

I file this bug under SeaMonkey, to get the "Profile: Manager" component;
but this happens with Firefox too, but I don't know which Core component to use
...
I believe this bug is more related to window focusing than to Profile Manager itself.

1. I start FF/SM by double clicking on Windows desktop icon.
2. Profile Manager shows up.
3. At this step, quite often [= not always], I get the following wrong behaviour(s):

3-mouse. If I click the "Start" button (or a profile !?),
the window looses its focus/highlight:
I need to click again to get the focus back.

3-keyboard. (or) If I press Enter,
the P.M. window goes away,
but there is a "7" seconds delay before the FF/SM browser window appears.

I think this is a regression that happened some (weeks/)months ago !
Perharps when some window focus handling code was modified ?
I don't remember the bug number(s) right now.

During that delay:
no (noticeable) cpu activity, windows display +/- frozen.

When the keyboard delay case happens,
the next window to get the focus, whether a dialog or the browser window,
will have the mouse case bug: first click looses focus/highlight...

Sorry, but I can't reproduce this on my suiterunner build; might that be
a) because I'm using Windows XP b) because it's a debug build?

Not too sure about everything I wrote,
but I seem to have found a reproducible case for the startup _delay_:


[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4pre) Gecko/20070519 SeaMonkey/1.1.2] (nightly) (W2Ksp4)

No bug, with the following steps.


[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/2007051804 Minefield/3.0a5pre] (nightly) (W2Ksp4)
[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070515 SeaMonkey/1.5a] (nightly) (W2Ksp4)
[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/2007052105 SeaMonkey/1.5a] (suiterunner, tinderbox-builds) (W2Ksp4)

1. Move the mouse pointer away from where the profile dialog will show up.
2. Without moving the mouse anymore, press Enter to select the suggested profile.
2r. delay !

If, at step 2, I move the mouse, preferably hover the dialog, then press Enter, I don't get the delay.

Just a wild guess: I wonder if that could be related to bug 326273 somehow ?

NB: Same bug if I start sr with a simple 'seamonkey' from command line.

*(Product) M.A.S. -> FireFox, to get more visibility.

Profile manager isn't a supported feature of the product, so we won't block on this, but we'd love to see this happen.
