When javascript opens a popup dialog, when in full screen mode, the frame is not displayed, (and aero fills the entire window). There's no close button, no way to move it, and stays that way even if you exit full-screen mode.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start full screen
2.click js link to open popup


Expected Results:  
A normal dialog.

I can't quite figure out what you mean: are you saying that the popup dialog has the aero glass effect over it and you can't close it?

I tried going into fullscreen and went to javascript:alert("hey") but I was not able to reproduce.

Here's a screenshot of a popup. Note that there is aero on the navbar, but nothing higher, and no way to resize.

I can't understand how no one can reproduce this. Maybe I wasn't clear. click a link (with pop-ups enabled) that opens a pop-up (something like window.open(...)) when you're in full screen mode. When aero's enabled, there's no title bar, no caption buttons, no frame to re-size. This should block tomorrow's nightly. It's a terrible (ui) bug. There's no way to close it. Fine, there's that close link that some put on the page, and alt+F4 closes it, but practically speaking, it's annoying. 

Could someone at least explain what's causing it? Was it the bug that enabled drawing in the title bar? or the one that enabled the glass to go into the window? Or maybe the one that disabled the glass in full screen mode? I have a feeling it's the last one, because there's no problem with the pop-ups in normal mode.

However, the fact that no one could confirm it is intriguing me. I personally confirmed it on windows vista and on windows 7. On any pop-up. When in full-screen mode.
