766212 - Javascript watchdog causes deadlock during 'Save As' action

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 476541

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Brooks Adcock]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120420145725

Steps to reproduce:

Selected 'File'->'Save Page As'
Did nothing for some time (a minute or two)



Actual results:

Came back to find "Cancel" and "Save" buttons unresponsive because the "Unresponsive Script" warning was up behind the "Save Page As" dialog. The unresponsive script dialog was telling me that the save page as script was unresponsive. I could not dismiss the "Unresponsive script dialog" because the "Save Page As" dialog was over it and could not release focus because the "Unresponsive Script" dialog was activated.


Expected results:

The javascript watchdog should not have come up simply because I took my time saving a file. It should not come up EVER  when the user is the source of the delay.

If it does come up there should NEVER be a circumstance under which it cannot be dismissed.
