Package: firefox
Version: 1.5.dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Tags: sid fixed-upstream

The first time "save file as" is selected, the context menu is
immediately redisplayed in always-on-top mode (often overlaying the file
picker).  It also causes all tabs (and windows, IIRC) to redraw, shifting
position to the top of their respective pages.  This is caused by
upstream Bug#305970, which was recently fixed in the 1.8.0.1 branch (and
will be included in Firefox 1.5.1).  The patch, along with a screenshot
illustrating the issue, is available at
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305970>.

I rebuilt firefox with this patch several days ago, and can confirm that
it corrects the problem with no apparent side-effects.  While I wouldn't
recommend a new package just for this issue, as it's fairly harmless
(albeit annoying), the fix would make a nice addition if you end up
needing to roll a new release anyway.


Note: There are several additional operations which trigger this bug as
      well.  Please see upstream bugzilla for details.
