build 2001091311 Steps: 1. Open browser window, begin a download 2. Once download dialog appears, close browser window, mail window, etc. 3. As the file is downloading, try to open a new browser or mail window I was not able to do this either using keyboard shortcuts or the File Menu.

Confirmed using Mac/2001091311 (0.9.4).

-XP Apps

Looks like hidden window is busted again. Actually, hidden window needs a bunch of lovin' especially some controllers to disable menu items. Marking p2 and mozilla0.9.7

-> All/All, based on dupe bug 106030.

Ok, I know what this bug is about. If you close all windows except for a download progress window, there is no UI to get to other parts of the app. There are workarounds. On windows, double-click on mozilla.exe before the download window goes away. That should spawn a new browser window. On mac, the main menu bar should still be there, so this isn't a problem. On linux, you're screwed. At any rate, probably should do something about it one of these days, just won't get to it anytime soon. Marking p3 and mozilla1.1

I disagree. I'm using 0.9.7 on the Mac and this bug applies to me as well. I cannot open a new window using any of the commands if I close all my browsers while a download is in progress, including New Navigator Window and any of my bookmarks. Don't know why though. I think this should be fixed by 1.0.

trudelle to triage.

Adding nsbeta1 nomination. This bug is super-annoying, especially on Mac. Get into a state where you have just the download window open, and then your browser is unusable until the download has finished. It might as well just lock up.

--> saari. nsbeta1+ per ADT/Nav triage.

No. You're not screwed on linux. You can use remote to open a new window.

This should definitely be fixed before 1.0 (which, it appears, is sneaking right up on us).

there is another way to open another window to continue to surf if you have a bookmark somewhere on your hard drive launching the bookmark forces open another browser window and then you could surf i use macosx and it is a very serious bug at least from a user stand point.

Any word on a fix for this bug? It's been awhile since we've seen anything but duplicates (which, to me at least, signify that a fair number of people think this is important).

This requires fixing the download window's menubar XUL. ->navigator

i started this bug a long time ago it seems like they dont care if it works or does not that is why i have not cared to use this product becouse they dont care about the users problems this is a major issue of usablity and they are sitting on thier rears if you know what i mean

the problem stays present in Mozilla 1.0final and Mozilla 1.1final on MacOSX.

I am running Mozilla 1.3a from the trunk, build ID 2002112508 on Mac OSX and I still have this problem.

This bug doesn't say whether the reporter has the download manager showing, or the single download dialog. Please clarify summary.

single download dialog

One workaround on OS X is to minimize the download dialog. This will bring back the menus, including File -> New.

This bug is still around. In Jaguar, minimizing the download window allows new ones to be opened, as above.

This might be related (not sure). With two download windows open (Download manager window not open), one download window can be chosen from the Window menu to be brought to the front (this is with two other browser windows open (with various numbers of tabs)). When trying to bring the second download window to the front (via Window->second download window), the second download window doesn't come to the front and the Window menu remains highlighted. Other Windows can be chosen however. Browser: 2003052905 OS Mac OS X 10.2.6

Still there on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030722 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 Very annoying indeed!

Still there in 1.6b on Mac OS X (10.3). Absolutely no way to get a new window open until the download finishes. I guess there's a much more elegant way to get it solved on a Mac GUI instead of using work-arounds like hidden windows (which are annoying too when using Exposé, this window gets revealed in the overview).

Just came to bugzilla to report this and found it on search -- it's happening for me in the 1.0 version of FireFox. The menus don't even appear for me. If the download window's the only window left open you're screwed till the download finishes. In this case, it took quite a while before I got my browser back :(

Still open in Seamonkey 2.0.2

Works for me on Mac.

Confirmed, this seems to have gotten fixed at some point in the last 9 years.
