From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8+) Gecko/20020223 BuildID: 2002030122 While the accept cookie dialog is displayed, I am unable to interact with other open Mozilla windows with the mouse. It works using the keyboard. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. check the "Ask me before storing a cookie" checkbox 1. Visit a site which tries to set a cookie, e.g. the one given in the URL field 2. Switch to another window 3. Click on a menu, or scrollbar, or anything else which should do something Actual Results: The click is ignored Expected Results: pop up the menu, or scroll the page, or do whatever was expected by that mouseclick

this is working fine for me on my winNT machine. tever, can you reproduce? Is this a linux-only problem?

no, I can not reproduce this on linux. If I leave the "Confirm" that you want the cookie set dialog open, my mouse still works with menus, scrolling etc in other windows. On winNT, I can do the same thing except I can not use the mouse to get back to the mozilla window which is the parent of the "Confirm" dialog. But I can switch between all other open windows and use the mouse.

I can still reproduce this. Hm... maybe it's related to native GTK widgets... I'll check that.

no, it's not because of native gtk widgets. I'll try a nightly now instead of my self-compiled mozilla...

Happens in nightly, too (all my testing done on linux)

Nothing I can do about this if it can't be reproduced except by the reporter. Have to close this out as wfm. Reporter, since you have your own build, can you do some debugging on this? If so, then reopen the bug and assign it to yourself. Thanks.

I suspect this is a dup of bug 65521 reopening to mark as dup

yeah that patch fixed it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 65521 ***
