47284 - "Saving file" makes all other moz-windows z-axis dependant

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[R.K.Aa.]

"saving file" dialog insists on being one layer ahead of all other moz windows.
This is annoying, and cause some odd behaviour in coexistance with other
applications.


To reproduce:

-start a ftp download from a navigator window

-place the "Saving File" dialog beside the browser window

-open a third hand application.

-let that cover *all* of download dialog and *most* of navigator window,
 but leave the "File" menu visible

-now try raise the navigator window to top: Can't be done.

-click once on "File" menuitem: Dropdown menu appears

-now move mouse to the right, along "invisible" menu-bar: Dropdown menus      
appear *on top of third party app*!

-Return to "File" menu, and click "new navigator window": It will open behind
the third party app.


No moz windows can be brought to front of the third party app untill "Saving
file" dialog is brought to front first.

Expected behaviour:
Be able to raise other Moz windows to top of "foreign apps" without having to
raise the download dialog first. Is there a reason why the dowload window stays
on top in the first place?


This bug hardly "new" but i couldn't find it.
Currently tested on linux build 2000-080108

seems the box behaves OK now. This MAY have been wm dependant also. Have
upgraded to sawfish 0.35 in the meanwhile. WFM anyway.

working for me too, afaict. Perhaps it was the WM, but reopen (of course) if
you can reproduce this behaviour. Thanks.
