From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-12smp i686) Description of problem: Received an automated bug report (given in Additional Information) from an internal user. It is indicative of a problem with the msgBox routine. It seems that if a window is acted upon (moved / click on) just prior to destruction, then by the time the action is executed the window is not viewable, and a Tcl error results. How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the database, or create some condition (previously installed packages, unsatisfied dependencies, etc.) that will cause a msgBox the next time the installer is run. 2. Re-run the installer. 3. When the msgBox is presented, acted on it normally. Then grab the msgBox and proceed to "jiggle" it continually. This should cause the error to present. Actual Results: The Tcl error above results. (Or a similar one.) Expected Results: Installer should continue normally. The actions should be ignored.
