79854 - Clicking background window does not make it active

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 78364

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Richard Hough]

BuildID:    2001050518

Very often I have multiple windows that are almost full-screen size. Clicking on
the border or chrome of a background window draws the window outline (as if I
were resizing it) but after releasing the mouse the window stays in the
background; I can't activate a window by clicking on the chrome.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open window A
2. Open window B
3. Click on frame border (or resize box, window chrome) of A

Actual Results:  Border of window A appears while mouse is down, but disappears
when mouse is released. Window B remains frontmost

Expected Results:  Window A should become frontmost.

Sounds the same as bug 78364 (which, if you keep reading past the initial 
reports, was equally fitfully reproducible). Given that difficulty, I'm going to 
close this one as a duplicate. The good news is, we have a fix for that one.
