Screenshot of firefox password dialog as separate widow (which is wrong)
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
Created attachment 488091 [details] Screenshot of the password dialog being part of the firefox window (as it should be) Firefox password dialog sometimes gets seen as a normal / separate window, which can be separately selected in the alt-tab dialog. This also makes it possible to select the main firefox window and have it on top of the password dialog. How to reproduce: 1) Configure firefox with a master password for saved passwords 2) Go to a (preferably slow loading) website for which you have a saved username + password (and no login cookie). 3) Immediately after pressing enter in the location bar url, iow immediately after the site starts loading, switch to another window. 4) Wait for the password required notification to show up at the bottom of your screen 5) Do alt-tab. Notice you know have 2 separate (but grouped) firefox windows in your alt-tab sequence, and you can select the main firefox window making it obscure (be on top of) the password dialog If you would have simply waited for the password dialog to appear with the firefox window focussed, then the dialog would be seen as part of the window in the alt-tab sequence. Also see the 2 screenshots which I'm attaching in 1 the dialog has been drawn near the top of the window (with the shift out of title bar animation), and is seen as part of the window in the alt-tab sequence, in the other it is in drawn at the center of the screen, as a separate window.
