Description

[Fabiano Arruda]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; pt-BR; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061004 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; pt-BR; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061004 Firefox/3.0

When Running Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection in Full Screen Mode, if Firefox is Opened in another space, and I alternate between spaces, the minimize button on firefox (yellow) is disabled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection, in full screen mode.
2.Alternate to another Space, then Open Firefox.
3.Alternate to the Space wich is running MS RDC.
4.Alternate again to the Space running Firefox.
Actual Results:  
The Minimize button (yellow) is disabled, so I cant minimize Firefox anymore.


To solve the problem I must close the current Firefox window (not close Firefox, just the window) then open a new one.

Version of Leopard is 10.5.3
Version of MS RDC is 2.0.0 Beta 3 (080409)

This is I think a pretty well known fault with OSX itself, did you check to see if it affects applications other than Firefox?

Yes, seems like its not a bug strict related to Firefox only, but at this time the only 2 apps that I've noticed this issue are Firefox 3 and Visual Paradigm UML.

Over to Cocoa, but I'm pretty sure this is an OSX issue and not something we can do anything about.

Does Cmd-M or "Minimize" item in the Window menu work, or are they disabled, too?

Yes, it works. Its just the yellow button that became disabled, but Command + M still minimizes the window. So far there are 3 apps that Ive seen this issue,  they are Firefox 3, VP UML and Adium. 

Ive researched over the internet about this issue, and found that its a old bug of OS X since 10.4, still not solved! its related to Aplications running in full screen and the use of Spaces. There is a Thread in the Apple support Forum about this, I just upped it!

I can't reproduce this. Since this is a known but in macOS at the time, not a bug in Firefox, and a lot of time has passed, marking this as wontfix.
