42021 - New window without toolbars has no 'window' capability

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Mike Baptiste]

If you go to the URL http://www.datek.com/investcenter/login.html and click
'Streamer' (A Javascript button) to start the Datek Java streamer client, it is
supposed to launch a small square window without any toolbars, etc.  This window
is what will launch the Java streamer client in a new window.  The square window
appears, but the window has no controls.  No title bar, minimize/close buttons,
etc.  You can't move it, close it or anything.  It does display the proper page.
The only way to make it disappear is to quit Mozilla.

50% of the time, the streamer client will start and work normally, but this bug
is really for the lack of window controls on the intermediate window which
launshes the Java window.

I forgot to include what build I was using:  2000060814 on WIn 98.

FYI - this is 100% reproducable and has been a problem since at least M15.

Well, I tried to close this 'window' using CTRL+ALT+DEL and it worked. So there
seems to be a way to get rid of the window. That does not seem to be a solution,
but in some cases it might be good. This Comment is only for informational
purposes and does not help to kill the bug. :(

setting bug status to New.  Confirmed with M16 release.  workaround is to right 
click on the windows taskbar icon for that window and select close.

Attachment: Test Case - problem is caused by titlebar=0 option to window.open()

Comment 6

window.open('http://www.mozilla.org/','Test','titlebar=0');
The problem is titlebar=0. This could be a feature, but I should think not
seeing how this makes it very difficult to close windows that web pages open.

I IE 5.5 and NS 4.73 the window created has no toolbars and no menu bar.  The 
top has only the window titlebar with minimize/maximize/close buttons. I guess 
they ignore the titlebar=0.

Reassigning - browser, not engine. DOM 0?

This appears to be fixed now, I think joki checked in some code that fixed this
a number of days ago. I tested this on both WinNT and Linux and I got a title
bar on the new window on both platforms. Marking WORKSFORME.
