I noticed possible bug today.

When you have few tabs opened, and one of the tabbed pages is loading in the background while in the same time you drag-n-drop something from other tabbed page (it happened when I was dragging url link to desktop, and when I test it second time I was dragging picture to a folder) and the loading in the background tabbed page asks user to log-on - in which case K-Meleon brings the logon's window with informations from its stored cache - K-Meleon will freeze.
Can't finish dragging-dropping, and cannot switch to the background tab with the page for which K-Meleon opened the logon information to choose from on top.
I was able to replicate it three times in a row and I had to kill K-Meleon in Task Manager each time, so most likely it is a bug in my opinion.

Someone else please confirm it.
I just replicated it 3 times on Windows XP SP3 machine, K-M 1.5.4
The tabbed-in-the-background page (that should open K-Meleon's logon chooser for that webpapge) cannot be too fast, so choose a website that doesn't load too quick for you - I noticed it first, and tested it afterwards, with 4shared.com website (which always loads slow for me).
When I tried to replicate it with websites that load much faster, usually the K-Meleon's login window for that page pop-ups too fast.

The correct behaviour should be that the "choose logon" window should not pop up on top of K-Meleon's window in general (meaning on top of other tab in focus), it should only pop-up on top of the tab for which the logon info is to be selected - or it shouldn't "steal" the focus from what user was doing on other tab (in this case dragging-dropping). K-Meleon shouldn't freeze in such scenario.[/quote]
