67575 - Find dialog works only once on second browser window

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 54936

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Stephen Moehle]

If two browser windows are open, the "Find in this Page" dialog will only appear
the first time the "Search/Find in this Page" menu is selected or Ctrl+F is used.

To reproduce:
1) Open 2 browser windows.
2) Click in the body of the second window.  (This is very important.)
3) Press Ctrl+F or pick the "Search/Find in this Page" menu item.
4) Dismiss the dialog with Cancel.
5) Repeat step 3.  The Find dialog does not show.

Tested with Mozilla 2001020306 on Linux and the previous day's build on NT4.

Sorry I do not know the correct component.

My step 1 is not specific enough.  Replace it with:

0) Start Mozilla.
1) Open a second browser window.  I used Ctrl-N.
2) Proceed to step 2 above.

I still see the problem on NT4 with the latest Mozilla, 2001020804.

Isn't this a duplicate of mostfreq bug 54936?

[Bill Law]

Yes, and likely some of the other mysterious problems with the "second window"
are also due to the problem underlying that bug.  Closing this one.

Stephen, if you still see this after that bug is fixed, feel free to reopen
this bug.
