Details

If I accidentally hold down ctrl-p, and get (say) 3 or 4 of them, I'll get (after a big delay) 3 or 4 print requesters. This could be both problematic and also make the user think the browser has crashed - and it may use a lot of memory, especially if you get a whole bunch of them. One at a time, or one per open window, would seem to me to be more appropriate. In ns4.7 and IE, once one print requester is open, you can't open another print requester.
Oops, forgot to change component to XP Apps. Also adding 4xp

does this still happen in current builds? Does is happen only on FreeBSD?
Peter, Vishy is gone...can you reassign this to the right person ?

This is nasty; I just got a dozen of these very easily, and had to force-quit. ->law, cc bryner, os->linux, severity->major, nsbeta1

I was unable to reproduce this. Ctrl-P seems to make the originating window inactive so additional Ctrl-Ps did nothing (except beep). Maybe that's due to a recent change somewhere. I'm going to leave this untargetted, only because it is nominated for nsbeta1. Hopefully it will be minused when looked at next.
Just tried it - now the additional ^P's cause "Not Available" alert boxes to come up. Not optimal (I think), but no longer a problem. Resolving as Fixed.
