Issue with new "modal" dialogs.

[digerata]

I'm not sure which release did it, but it seems that dialogs shown will blank out the parent window of the dialog with a white screen.

This is a pain because you suddenly loose context of what you are doing. "Hmm... was I trying to specify protocols on out1 or out6?" If the editor still showed the appliances, you could tell right away. Now, you have to close down the dialog and then bring it back up again.

I realize the reason why this is necessary as the dialog should be modal, but one isn't offered by browsers. However, there are better ways of doing this.

I'd suggest changing the opacity of the layer that hides the editor. You see a lot of this today, a black layer with opacity set to 30 to 50 percent.

Mike,

Thanks - I have seen this too, might be related to changes in the browsers but it is annoying.

Which AppLogic release are you seeing it in?

Yes. We are *that* good :)

Upgrading to 2.4.10 will fix this (the version string), together with a few bugs.


On a more serious note, the new "modal" dialog feature seems to have come with Firefox 3.5.1 (I don't remember it in 3.5.0 and we haven't changed the AppLogic software, so I don't think it is something we just broke). Our engineers are looking at the issue and what we can do to make things show again.

Can you confirm you are running on Windows XP with Firefox 3.5.1 (if not, what is the agent string)?


Thanks,

Yes, I am using Firefox 3.5.1 but on OS X 10.5.7
