807558 - JavaScript timer based window.print() function conflicts with command-P function resulting in dialog interaction conflict

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 476541

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Fred Muhlenberg]

Attachment: Screen shot of error. Page Javascript sample

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20121024073032

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox configured to open windows in a new tab.

Steps to reproduce

Visit: http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/CubScouts/CubScouts/UniformsAndAwards/sanda.aspx

Select a belt loop.  I chose chess.
Click the print icon on the page.
A new page is displayed in a new tab.
Execute a "command-P" within 5 seconds and the Print dialog is displayed
Wait 5 seconds.



Actual results:

A Printer Error alert is displayed. 
Now, I am unable to cancel from Print dialog or Printer alert. The window focus is also captured so I cannot delete the page or quit Firefox from keyboard or mouse interactions.

Alternate (no error) scenario:
If I wait patiently for 5 seconds and do not execute a "command-P", the Print dialog is displayed and no Printer Error alert.



Expected results:

The Printer Error alert should not be displayed once the Print Dialog is active.
See attached file for screen shot.

WFM on Win 7 with FF16. Maybe it's OSX-specific.
