Seen on trunk with Gecko 200707100303 SeaMonkey 2.0a1pre, and numerous earlier trunk versions. I think I filed a bug on this before, but I cannot find that earlier bug now. Steps to reproduce: 1. Read a Mail 2. Click reply, compose a reply, click Send. 3. The "Sending Messages" dialog comes up, and the progress meter starts spinning. 4. The "Mail Server Password Required" dialog comes up. It brings the mail mail reading windows to the front, on top of the message composition window and on top of the "Sending Messages" dialog. The "Mail Server Password Required" dialog is modal to the main mail reading window, which is the WRONG WINDOW for it to be modal to. 5. If you enter the password, and click OK, the password dialog goes away, and leaves the main mail window on top, so that you do not see the subsequent progress activity in the "Sending Messages" dialog. 6. If you click Cancel in the password dialog, it bring the compose window and the "Sending Messages" dialog back to the top, and then adds another dialog on top of the "Sending Messages" dialog, which is the "Send Message Error" dialog. The "Send Message Error" dialog is also modal to the compose window. While the "Send Message Error" dialog is displayed, it is possible to click the cancel button on the "Sending Messages" dialog, to dismiss it, and the "Send Message Error" dialog remains displayed, and the compose window remains modal to it. I think there are several things wrong with that sequence of events. They are: a) The "Mail Server Password Required" dialog should be modal to the composition window, like the "Sending Messages" dialog and the "Send Message Error" dialog are, and should NOT be modal to the main mail window. It should not bring the main mail window up over the compose window. b) The "Sending Messages" dialog should go away and be replaced by the "Send Message Error" dialog. The two dialogs should not be displayed simultaneously. The "Sending Messages" dialog should go away BEFORE the "Send Message Error" dialog appears.

I wonder if this is relevant to bug 413240.
