42084 - Alerts causing windows to pop behind other windows in testcases

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 22658

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[scalkins]

Saw this on Windows Only:
2000-06-09-08M17

I see this in more than one place where an alert in generated when a required 
field has not been filled out. Two testcases for different apps follow.

Steps to repro:
Testcase 1 - Composer 
1) Launch seamonkey and Make the browser almost full screen. 
2) Now open Composer via Tasks-->Composer
3) Select pull down menu "Insert-->Named Anchor..."
4)In the resulting "Named Anchor Properties" dialog, don't type anything and 
click on OK.
5)You'll get an Input Error alert saying "You must enter a name for this 
anchor". Click on OK.
6)You'll be back in the "Named Anchor Properties" dialog now. Type a name and 
click on OK.

Actual Results: The compose screen will disappear behind another apps window 
(basically the last window which was opened before you opened Composer).

Testcase2 (AIM in the commercial release builds)
1) Launch seamonkey and make the browser almost full screen. ALso launch another 
app like Word, and resize it's window almost full screen.
1)Now login to AIM via either the sidebar Buddy List, or via Tasks-->IM.
2)In the List Setup Tab, click on either the Add Buddy, or Add Group icon to 
invoke it's dialog.
3)In the "Add.." dialog which pops up, don't type anything but click OK.
4)You will get an alert saying "Please enter a <group or buddy> name". Click OK.
5)Now type a group or buddy name (And select a group for the Add Buddy 
dialog). Click OK.

Actual Results: 
*If invoked from Sidebar in browser - The browser disappears behind another 
full screen app (Ie. NS 4.7 or MS Word)
*If invoked from standalone - Standalone disappears behind another app.(The last 
full screen app opened before buddy list was invoked.)

Nominating nsbeta2 because I think alot of users will clcikon Ok in error on 
empty fields on occasion, and this can be very confusing if our apps disappear 
when they do this behind other open windows.

Not sure what would cause this but it sounds like a window or popup window 
control problem.  Reassigning to danm.
