509709 - unresponsive script warning causes save dialog box to become nonfunctional, force quit required.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 476541

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[mshucker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_7; en-us) AppleWebKit/530.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.1 Safari/530.18
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2

When the unresponsive script warning dialog comes up while you're trying to save, you get a dialog box deadlock, and the only way out is a force quit. I can't continue or stop script on the warning message, because the print/save dialog box is active.  But the print/save dialog boxes don't work - clicking Save or Cancel just flashes the buttons. I also see an unlabeled window in the window menu (just a blank line).

Problem actually happened on release 3.5.1, but I was auto-updated after the force-quit, before I could save the build identifier.  I have not duplicated it on 3.5.2 yet.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. While in a page running a script, print/save as pdf
2. Unresponsive script warning dialog comes up, attached to the browser window that is now in the background.

Actual Results:  
Print/save dialog boxes don't work - clicking Save or Cancel just flashes the buttons.  Unable to close unresponsive script dialog box either.

Expected Results:  
I should be able to cancel one or the other dialog box; in this case I couldn't save the printout of the page, and the data was lost when I force quit.

I believe this is the same as Seamonkey bug 488079, but wanted to be sure it was in the Firefox queue too.

It's more a duplicate of bug 476541. We should take care of this particular problem there.
