[Bug 498285] [NEW] enigmail auto-save message dialog locks up thunderbird

[Lars Noodén]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: enigmail

When the following dialog pops up, Thunderbird locks up for all other
activities until the dialog is dismissed:

OpenPGP Confirm
?  Do you want to encrypt the message before saving?
   [] Remember my answer and do not ask me again
  No  Yes

That presents a great problem if the dialog pops up on another virtual
desktop or if there are many windows open and the particular individual
message causing the dialog is not visible near the surface.

What should happen is that the message should either pop to  the top
completely when *any* window from Thunderbird is brought to the
forefront.  Or, the other windows should be allowed to continue to do
their thing even while the dialog box is waiting for an answer.
