Project: Seamonkey
Program: Apprunner.exe
BuildID: 1999-04-29-08
Platform: WinNT
If you have an window named FooWin, window.open("URL", "FooWin") fails to locate
that window and it opens a new window with the same name instead.
The same failure is happening on Win32, MacOS and possibly on Linux. Viewer.exe
doesn't show that failure.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an HTML file with the following content:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>test.html</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
window.open("http://bubblegum", "FooWin");
window.open("http://slip", "FooWin");
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
2. Load that file in apprunner
Actual Results: It opens two child windows.
Expected results: A single child window opened with the homepage from slip
server displayed in it.

Sorry. There's no way this can happen by M5. In order to iterate over all open
windows, I have a dependency on David Matiskella's window manager. Until that
lands, this bug is dead in the water.
Setting Target Milestone to M6, since I'm assuming that the window manager is
slated to go in some time before M6 closes.

window.open doesn't even work on Mac and Linux. It won't before necko
lands. Moving off to M8.

Giving this to danm. Basically our FindBlahByName method in nsWebShellWindow
needs to know how to look over the window list.

The same failure is happening in M9 builds. It was working fine on the released
M8 build. Re-tested bug on 07/27 and 07/22 Apprunner. Bug reopened.

Hmmm. Someone broke the window lookup-by-name code, middle of July. That's been fixed
and this bug seems gone once again.
