New issue 8727 by [email protected]: Linux dialogs are application-modal rather than window-modal http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8727 Right now dialog boxes are modal for the entire application rather than just for the top level window to which they belong. This means that if you have 2 chrome windows up, and a "save as" dialog open for one of them, you can't use the other window. This is not how Windows chrome works. In windows chrome actually runs the dialogs in their own thread because Windows dialogs are blocking. We don't have to run them in their own thread, luckily, but we do need to figure out how to use GtkWindowGroups (which is a GTK 2.14+ API) or re-implement that functionality for ourself, so that the focus grab doesn't affect all app windows. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
