442046 - Save-as dialog loses focus to main window when multiple dialogs opened

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 431544

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[mcfang]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

Open multiple save-as dialogs either via tab-clicking or via an external program (where Firefox is the download handler) and after clicking save or cancel to the first Save-as dialog the focus switches back to the parent window, even if there are additional Save-as dialogs that must be handled. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to any website that has multiple downloads, eg http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
2. open two or more download links in quick succession (works best if you open to tabs)
3. confirm you have multiple "save-as" dialogs opened.
4. cancel or save any dialog
Actual Results:  
Focus will switch back to the parent window, leaving the other dialogs open.

Additional Behaviour: if you have the filetype set to "save automatically" then the parent window will be locked and if you attempt to focus it manually THEN and ONLY THEN will focus switch back to the next save-as dialog in the queue.

Expected Results:  
Focus should switch to the next save-as dialog in the queue. This is the behaviour on Firefox2.

Also verified this bug on latest build: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1a1pre) Gecko/2008062603 Minefield/3.1a1pre.

Verified the Expected Results on: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0

Reporter, does it really only happen when multiple save as dialogs are open? Or can you also see it with a single dialog? I would think so. Thanks!

If the attachment types are a recognised file type, the first save-as dialog will grab focus - but after clicking save or cancel the focus will revert to the main window.

In the case that the file is not recognised and the attachment handler opens, the handler grabs focus, but after clicking OK to open the save-as dialog, focus then reverts to the main window. 

This effect could be related to Bug 431544.
