580668 - Zimbra notifiers prevent typing in all tabs

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[My]

When Zimbra gives me a meeting alert, I cannot type in any of the other tabs that are open until I close the alert.  This happens every time I get an alert and thus when i'm in Gmail trying to compose an email I can't type in anything or move the cursor until the alert is closed.  i don't know if this is a Zimbra specific issue or something with pop-ups.  This only happens with Firefox 4 (I never experienced this in Firefox 3.6.6)

I saw this happen on Mayumi's computer.  But I haven't yet been able to reproduce it on mine.  I tried reproducing it both with a recent trunk nightly on Linux and Firefox 4.0 beta 5 on Windows 7, but in both cases, the appearance of the popup notification in the Zimbra tab didn't prevent me from continuing to type in the Gmail tab.

I also tried checking the "Show popup notification" checkbox in Zimbra > Preferences > Calendar > General > Show reminders, which required installing Yahoo! BrowserPlus, in case the problem was due to that option.  But I still couldn't reproduce. :-(
