85531 - window keeps popping into foreground when reading news

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 72651

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Teal Bauer [:teal]]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607
BuildID:    2001060703

When I click on a news item to load it and then switch focus to another Mozilla
window, the news reader window pops into the foreground when it shouldn't. The
same happens when clicking on a newsgroup name (which has new messages in it)
and switching focus.
It will come to the foreground when a news item has finished loading.

Reproducible: Most of the time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla Mail
2. Click on a newsgroup which has some messages in it
3. Switch focus to another Mozilla window before a news item is loaded

Actual Results:  Mozilla pops into the foreground.

Expected Results:  Mail and News window should stay in the background until
manually switching focus.

This is very annoying.
