Using 2000-02-23-08 commercial build NT 4.0 Using 2000-02-23-08 commercial build linux rh6.0 When mail window is minimized, selecting Tasks|Mail from Browser window or using the mail icon on the task bar from browser will not restore the mail window. The reverse is also true for calling up the browser window from the mail window. 1. You have one browser window open and one mail window open. 2. Minimize the mail window. 3. From the broswer window select Tasks|Mail. Result: Nothing happens. Mail window is not restored, it stays in minimized state. 4. From browser window, click the mail/envelope icon on the task bar. Result: Nothing happens. Mail window is not restored, it stays in minimized state. Expected result: mail window should restore and come to foreground.

I see the same behavior for other windows which are accessible from the Tasks menu. So either the Tasks menu Javascript is wrong, or else the windowing implementation is wrong. Starting with hangas.

After talking to danm, he felt he should have this bug.

Mass-moving all M16 non-feature bugs to M17, which we now consider to be part of beta2.

nominating for nsbeta2

[nsbeta2+] will take fix by 6/1

Mass-moving all dated nsbeta2+ bugs to M19

freshness dating has expired, nominating for nsbeta3, moving to m21

I'll take this bug.

blizzard is working on a Linux fix for this. A separate fix will be required for Windows, which I'm trying to figure out.

Fix checked in on Linux.

Updating from [6/1] to [6/15]

Fix is now checked in on Windows. I'm going to find out what happens on Mac before closing this bug.

Per saari, we should not unshade a shaded window on Mac, so this is fine.
