New issue 23817 by bcbryant: Multiple file save dialogs on Linux
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23817

Chrome Version: 4.0.220.1 dev/unstable from 4 Oct 2009
OS + version: Ubuntu 9.04
CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 32-bit
Behavior in Chrome for Windows: Does not occur on Windows

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. right-click on any image in any page on the Internet
2. as soon as you select "Save Image As..." right-click on the image again
before the dialog comes up
3. select "Save Image As..." again (if the right-click menu appears and is
responsive)

This is likely only reproducible on slower or bogged down computers on
which it takes a while for the File Save dialog to come up, giving you
enough time to interact with the page before input is restricted to the
dialog.

What is the expected result?
You should not be able to get the right-click menu to appear the second
time because the application should be in a modal loop for the File Save
dialog.

What happens instead?
It took some fiddling but I got it to happen twice. Once I only got the
right-click menu to re-appear and it froze the whole Linux session (had to
reset), the other time I got two File Save dialogs (though the second one
was of the page itself and not the same image file) and one of the two
dialogs did not work and froze the application when I clicked Save.
Screenshots of both cases are attached. It is sort of a re-entry back into
the Chrome browser code when all activity should be limited to the dialog
(even if the dialog has not come up yet).

This may be related to issue 15891, the Linux and OS X implementation of
showModalDialog:

The original post on chromium-discuss was seeing longer delays before the
dialog appeared and therefore lots of time to re-click the page, and was
not sure if this was a file manager issue rather than a chromium issue:

discuss/browse_thread/thread/4aa738a4bba69ea4?hl=en&pli=1

Even on my laptop which is SLOW, and running Chrome dev inside vmware
player, the dialog appears quickly and this bug can only be reproduced
intentionally. But in the case of the original post, if the dialog were
slow to appear, this would be a serious bug.
