Description Konrad Kolosowski CLA 2002-09-18 12:22:12 EDT 
Whe Mozilla browser is running, but is minimized, launching help caused the 
help page to load in the browser, but the browser remains minimized.
It is difficult to know that document loaded in the browser, when onlytext on 
the Mozilla icon in the teskbar has changed.  If users misses that and does not 
restore the mozilla window, they will get imression that nothing happened and 
help does not work.

Netscape 4 does not have this problem.
Adding -raise option when launching Mozilla does not help.
Comment 2 Konrad Kolosowski CLA 2003-01-09 18:18:37 EST 
This is a bug in mozilla.  See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?
id=159092.
There is a workaround to execute javascript:window.focus() in Mozilla.  This 
has efect of restoring the window from minimized, and also bringing the window 
forward.
Comment 3 Konrad Kolosowski CLA 2003-01-09 18:30:12 EST 
Incorporated a workaround into our code.

+1
Comment 5 Konrad Kolosowski CLA 2003-10-16 12:17:27 EDT 
The workaround has been removed before 2.1RC4 because it had side effects (bug 
35412).

Comment 7 Konrad Kolosowski CLA 2005-05-04 17:28:25 EDT 
Marking as P4 - unlikely to be looked at for 3.1.

This is not a problem with Firefox so I'm going to close out this bug report. The bug is presumably still there if you have an old enough browser but the typical user will not run into this bug.
