776856 - Applet disappears when javascript:alert is called but reappears after hitting the alert's Ok button

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Karl San Gabriel]

Attachment: FFESR10.0.6_applet_javascript_alert.zip

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:10.0.3) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.3
Build ID: 20120309135702

Steps to reproduce:

A) Tested existing web application in Firefox ESR 10.0.6. 
    1) A script component that uses JavaScript alert is invoked on a page 
        where there is an applet displayed.

B) Then, I created a simple HTML and reused existing applet 
    from the Internet (please see attachment).


Actual results:

When the alert box is displayed, the applet is not visible in the background. However, after clicking the alert's Ok button the applet reappears. 

Both for A and B (please see "What did you do?")


Expected results:

When the alert box is displayed, the applet should still be visible in the background.

This looks like a Design Choice being made to blend out all Plugin Stuff, i.e. happens on e.g. Flash Content, too.
