Having signed up for the login dialog, I'm seeing that it's a pretty interesting subject. If you try out a page with HTTP auth, you'll see that you get what looks like a dialog for the username and password. But if you click around, you find that you can switch tabs, and that the dialog is tab-modal. In fact, the UI test has a test (LoginPromptTest.TestTwoAuths) to make sure that you can have two auths going on at once.
I was thinking about doing this as a sheet, but that's window-modal and of less functionality. I can play games with dialogs (making them child windows and/or hiding/showing along with the tab) but that gets to be less Mac/like. As I type this I wonder if we can get a sheet to come down under the tab bar and hide/show it with the tab. Would that be good UI-wise? And of course, I'd probably retrofit the file picker to do that too. Thoughts?
