You are about to save a page and the save dialog appears,
Unlucky as you are either:
   a sheet page appears to report a download error (Download window)
   a sheet page appears to report a script error (a web page)

you cannot do anything (probably) because
   the sheet window have the "focus" BUT you can't click in it
   the dialog buttons are not responding (except the one to create a folder, but useless in the matter).

This bug is here since ages; I do not reported it because I dislike the way to report them (record my informations have nothing to do with the bug).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Read the Details field
Actual Results:  
You are trapped.

Expected Results:  
Let me save the data (web page), close the dialog window and let me access to the sheet window.

I am not really ungry about the bug, only about the "you need to register to be able to report a bug".
Of course, I understand, but - for once - usually, I always left the site who ask me that.

BTW: I cannot understand why no-one report that bug previously (except for the above reason) 'cause I get it easilly.

If you cannot reproduce it, once you have the save dialog, disconnect the computer from the internet and you certainly will see it.

Otherwise, ask me for more comments.
