build id: 1999060909 platform: windows nt to reproduce: open the prefs window. click cancel. result: you are switched to another currently running application. expected result: you remain in apprunner.

Re-assign it to matt for fixing

Matt, is this something you can fix or do you need Matiskella help on this?

i'm not sure what is causing this. David, can you take a look?

since it is on a PC I am going to pass this on to bill.

This was most likely due to transitional behavior in the modal window support in the windowing/toolkit area. In any case, the behavior is no longer evident and closing preferences leaves focus on the browser window from which it was opened.

This problem has not gone away in the 1999111016 M11 build of seamonkey. Reopening and clearing resolution. (I used Windows NT - clicking Cancel once again switched me to another application.)

Bug 15278 is the other side of this - clicking on [Ok] has the same result. It looks like leaving the prefs dialog results focus switching to whatever app had focus immediately before the Mozilla app the dialog was summoned from, no matter how the prefs dialog is left. Changing "dismissed" to "left" in summary to reflect that. Works incorrectly with: 1999-11-09-11-M11 nightly binary on Windows NT Every other nightly binary checked for at least two weeks.

moving off to m12 to figure out why cpratt still sees the problem

This is really annoying but not a M12 stopper. Moving to M13.

Not required for beta 1.

spam: in my testing realm, so reassigning qa contact to me, en masse.

This looks like a DUP of bug 6058, "Closing the prefs window activates the wrong browser window", ASSIGNED to danm@netscape.com, M15, although a clearer description can be found in bug 22685, "[PP] Closing some dialogs activates the wrong window", which presents the general case for the Prefs dialog and other modal dialogs that have been misbehaving this way. In any case, this seems to be working in 2000-01-22-08-M14 on NT.

Ooops, typo. The bug that clearly describes this problem for multiple dialogs is bug 22658, not 22685.

I know this bug has been around for a while, but ... I can not see any difference at all between this bug and bug 6058. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 6058 ***

It isn't the same bug... maybe. The other bug says that closing the prefs window returns you to a mozilla window, albeit the wrong one. This bug says that closing the prefs window switches you to a completely different application. Which is it? Leaving it to sairuh to decide which is true / still happens... thanks!

verif. hunh.
