If you visit the above URL, the browser will draw what appears to be a password entry dialog box over the regular browser window. Neither that window nor the original browser window are then refreshed, and you can't enter a user name or password either there, or in the DOS window. Happens with apprunner, 12 March build. Additionally, clicking on either window's Close box closes all windows and quits apprunner.

Re-assigned to davidm@netscape.com, changed component to XPApps and target milestone to M3. David, this will be fixed by the client auth stuff you, rpotts, and spence are working on, right?

assigning Christopher as QA contact

Changed target milestone to M4. Move this to M4 until we know spence has delivered the netlib changes.

David still has to hack around netlib for this to work in Windows and Linux. We're not going to solve this for M5. Moving to M6.

Just to be clear the problem is that not so much in netlib as in our cross thread communications method (PLEvents). You can't block when handling the PLEvent which tells you to bring up the window since netlib is going to be sending a bunch of important events which you don't want queueing up behind your event. My current plan to from the PLEvent to spin off a timerevent and have the timer event actually put up the dialog. Not exactly elegant and perhaps someone should investigate better ways of doing cross thread communications.

fix checked in. Tested on win,linux and mac by loggin on to parp.

although I can ping parp.mcom.com, I can't get apprunner to connect to it. what am I doing wrong? thanks!

I think Parp is down. Feel free to use any other site. I just had a know password for that site.

hm. well, it mostly works save for cosmetic issues. i'm going to mark this one as verified fixed & open new ones for any remaining issues.
