From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010628 BuildID: 2001062823 When you do 'open in new window' (eg by clicking with the middle mouse button on a link), the new window is in the foreground. That's sensible. But if you immediately put it in the background and go back to what you were doing, it will pop up again later when it has finished loading. This behaviour seems to be new with 0.9.2 and it's IMHO highly annoying. I can't think of any other web browser which does this, or indeed any application. In general it's rude for things to pop up when you didn't ask them to. It's even ruder when you've just told them half a second ago to move behind the other windows! (Off-topic: if the reason for this feature was to prompt the user when a page has finally finished downloading, you could do that better by changing the icon in the minimized window - have one icon for 'Mozilla busy downloading and rendering' and another for 'Mozilla finished and ready to display the whole page'.) If this really is a deliberate feature, there needs to be at least a preferences checkbox to turn it on and off. I'd go so far as to say that the default should be the old Netscape Navigator behaviour - don't force any windows to the front apart from popups. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click the middle mouse button on a link. 2. As soon as the new window appears - before it has finished loading - minimize it with your window manager or otherwise put it into the background. 3. Wait for it to finish loading and rendering, which might be perhaps only a fraction of a second. Actual Results: It will pop to the foreground again despite the fact that you only just got rid of it. Expected Results: IMHO once you put a window in the background it should stay there. Linux-Mandrake 8.0, window manager icewm.
