Description Miles Parker CLA 2011-01-31 17:42:19 EST 
Weird somewhat unusual issue here -- discovered while trying to do too many things at once as usual. When I have two modal windows opened by different components, I'm not able to dismiss either of them. This looks like a cocoa specific issue as the open dialog is I think a system dialog. Although actually triggered it with PDE and P2 components it seems like a more generic issue so I'm putting it in UI. Steps to reproduce:

1. Start a long-running P2import process.
2. While that is still running, trigger import projects wizard.
3. Click the "browse" button to select project root directory.
4. Wait for "Security Warning"  modal.

This leaves UI sort of deadlocked in the user interaction sense. At this point, the security warning dialog will not accept mouse clicks. Your only choice is to cancel the import as the "No" button is set as default. (?)

Scott,

    Any thoughts on this?

Definitely sounds like an SWT problem of some sort. I think the SWT assumes one modal dialog at a time, and if a new one comes up things get thrown off.

I'll try to reproduce it and see what the stack looks like.

Still happening in Indigo. Here's a screenshot. Clicking on OK or Cancel in either dialog doesn't do anything.

Also when I tried to Quit from dock I got the "Do you want to Exit" dialog, which of course I couldn't click :) necessitating a force quit. I don't have anything in System Console or Eclipse log.

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. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. 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.
