Description Stefan Xenos CLA 2004-03-23 21:38:46 EST
I200403200010

To reproduce:
- start a long-running operation that will trigger the progress dialog to open
(like "replace with latest from repository")
- Notice that the dialog shows up as an application window (called "Progress
Information" in the Windows start bar
- On multimonitor systems, the dialog shows up in the opposite monitor as the
current Eclipse window.

I suspect both problems might be caused by an incorrect (or null) parent shell
being passed into the Progress Information dialog.

All of these except for the workbench shutdown dialog are Team dialogs.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got
resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some
reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it.
The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you
still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is
(for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
