Steps to reproduce:

Was assembling an email, and starting browsing for an attachment.  When I realised I needed to compress the attachment, I left the Attachment File Browser window in Thunderbird open while I went to compress the file.  I was thus attempting to attach a compressed crash report from the User>Library>Logs>Diagnostic Reports folder.  With TAB I then switched back to TB, only to find Unresponsive Script behind the Attachment File Browser. I tried clicking the following buttons:  Stop Script, Continue in the Unresponsive Script dialog, and Cancel or Open in the Attachment File Browser.


Actual results:

There was an admonitory Beep when I clicked Stop Script or Continue in the Unresponsive Script dialog.  When I clicked Cancel or Open in the Attachment File Browser, the keypress highlighted the button, but the action did not complete, and the Attachment File Browser window remained open.  I also pressed Esc key to no avail.  I was able to select different objects in the Attachment File Browser, but at no time did the Cancel or Open buttons have any effect other than to acknowledge by colour change that I had clicked upon them.

Although Thunderbird had not hung, because I was stuck in this loop, I had to Force Quit Thunderbird.


Expected results:

1. The Unresponsive Script dialog should have told me what the script was that was unresponsive
2. The Stop Script button should have stopped the Script
3. The Continue button should have Continue execting the Script (whatever it was)
4. The Open button should have opened the browsed to document
5. The Cancel button should have cancelled the File Attachment Browser action and returned me to the email to which I was attempting to attach a compressed crash report from the User>Library>Logs>Diagnostic Reports folder.
