whether downloading is in progress, or finished, there needs to be a way to dismiss the Saving File [aka, download progress] dialog. if the button is Cancel [downloading in progress],the Escape key should cancel the downloading and dismiss the dialog. if the button is Close [or OK, depending on the outcome of bug 74011], the Enter key should dismiss the dialog. [this is assuming the user had selected the "Keep dialog open when download is complete" option.]

I think Esc should still close the dialog once the download is complete. (Perhaps both Esc and Enter could close it.)

nav triage team: Adding access keyword, will let a general accessibility triage handle this bug.

I agree with Jesse's addendum to Sarah's original suggestion.

The download progress window is a progress window, not a dialog. There should be no way to close it, except by clicking `Stop' (which should be mapped to Esc cross-platform, and also to accel+. on Mac OS).

Marking +, targetting for mozilla0.9. It is trivial to add accelerators.

You can already use Alt+F4 to dismiss this dialog. Why do you need to mark this 0.9 a week before the deadline?

->xpapps. BTW, I agree with MPT, but disagree with Jess, allowing someone to 'cancel' an operation that has already taken place would no doubt confuse some into thinking that we were undoing it.

Why do I need to mark this 0.9 a week before the deadline? Because I'm already rewriting this dialog and I'd prefer to do it properly this time rather than try to replicate all the bugs of the current implementation? Because this gives us a bug to axe when we realize we won't get them all fixed? Becase I just felt like it? Why ask why?

I'm not getting to this dialog till next round...

nav triage team: Marking nsbeta1- and p3

Sould stay in 0.9.1 since this dialog will be worked on a lot anyway and this feature should be easy to add/fix.

overlaps with other bugs

Resetting target milestone to match nsbeta1- setting.

nav triage team: Pushing out to mozilla0.9.3

in some cases, this blocks dialog dismissal [bug 85173]

workaround from bug 85173: i was able to dismiss by tabbing around the dialog, hitting spacebar, then cancelling if i got the Save File file picker --ie, if i didn't manage tab to the cancel button in the download/helper app dialog...

nav triage team: Real annoying, but not a mozilla0.9.3 stopper. Marking mozilla1.0

spam: over to File Handling.

Esc and enter key now work.

Sorry. The space bar now works (but erases the file per bug 102956, so don't actually use it yet).

Esc works fine to cancel this dialog on linux, winnt and mac 10.1. unfortunately, space doesn't work when the Cancel button is in focus on mac 10.1 --then again, i'm using builds from 10.31/11.1...this might be fixed with more recent builds. unsure how stable those are at the moment...

okay, vrfy'ing this as fixed --except for the spacebar issue on os x. i filed that in bug 108722.
