Details

(Sorta from bug 60618) Steps to reproduce: 1. Ctrl-F 2. Click Tasks menu (possible because the the dialog is not modal) Result: "Find in This Page" appears on the tasks menu along with the title of the page that the dialog is searching. Expected: Only the title of the page appears, but selecting it gives focus to the dialog.
i noticed that this occurs with other dialogs which aren't modal, such as the Bookmarks Manager, Preferences, Search Bookmarks/History, etc... jrgm, d'you know if there's an older bug on this?

Summary: "find in this page" dialog name appears in tasks menu → non-modal dialog names appear in Tasks menu
Don't know of an other bug report for this. (But, hey, let's just call it a feature, and be done with it!).
heh. the thing is, selecting the dialog name from Tasks doesn't bring it into focus. kinda a non-functioning 'feature'. ;)
Hm... Find being in there seems a little silly, but I always thought of bookmarks, etc as bona fide windows with every right to be in there where I could task switch to them. Seems that there are two bugs here: 'Find' should be a dependant window (I can open a navigator window, hit Ctrl+F, close the window, and the find window is still up) and that the window mediator should not list windows that are dependant.

This bug has not been touched for nearly 2 years. In most cases, that means it has "slipped through the net". Could someone please take a moment to add a comment to the bug with current status, and/or close it. BTW: I agree that windows like Bookmark manager should appear in the tasklist, but I also noted that Find in page does not appeat anymore (Moz 1.6 on linux)
