Details

using 4/6 build of apprunner on Linux.

1) launch apprunner
2) File | New Browser Window

now you have two navigators open.

Fo File | Close. doesn't work

workaround: File | Quit, which closes both windows...
changing qa_contact field to myself.
Target Milestone: M4
Sujay, how does this look with the Apr 07 Linux build? rickg, need to put this
on M4 radar for a release note if not fixed.
File | Close still doesn't work for 1 or many instances of Navigator open.
I used the 4/8 build.
Target Milestone: M4 → M5
not critical for m4.

marking m5.
OS: Linux → All
Hardware: Other → All
this all platforms
Assignee: ramiro → mcafee
Target Milestone: M5 → M6
reassign apprunner thing to mcafee@netscape.com

i dont think this is a big deal for m5.

marking m6.
CC-ing danm; does this work on Win/Mac?
same problem on Win and Mac...the bug is marked: "All" see above...

Summary: Close doesn't close other instances of apprunner → File:Close does nothing
Simplifying summary: File:Close does nothing. Same in any window, regardless of
how many windows open. BTW, File:Quit is not equivalent, Close should only
close the active window. reassigning to danm, cc hyatt
real workaround is to use close box, or other system method for closing
windows.

>snort!< Well, the reason it does nothing is because, since rev 1.1 of navigator.xul, it's
never been told to do anything.  Arguably this bug should be owned by someone in
XPApps, who may have special ideas about the the actions required while closing a window.
Still, I can go add a call to window.close() in navigator.xul as easily as anyone...
  However, until bug 6005 is fixed, adding a call to window.close() would make the app
crash, rather than doing nothing at all.  So I'm pushing this bug out to M7 for now, in
expectation of the day when that other fine bug is cleared up.
