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

[Lars Noodén]

"I think the behavior of not having access to the thunderbird interface
while a PGP key passphrase is requested is intentional. The fact is that
you are actually asking for this behavior by default."

Yes, saving is not the problem, that the dialog stays buried is part of
the problem. Another part is that there is no notification in FF that
one of its windows needs attention.  Just a case in point, I have a pair
of web browser windows open and 8 messages in the process of being
written.  In the past, I have been in the practice of having different
projects on separate desktops and thens switching between them as
appropriate.

Attached are two screen shots.

One is of the dialog that pops up on a separate desktop, but the same as
the message. So if the message is on desktop 2, and I am working on
desktop 1, the message pops up on #2 and the ability to work with the
mailboxes on #1 is lost and seemingly locked.

The other is of the dialog as it pops up over the message  but under
everything else.  So if that message is a the far back, bringing the
inbox, for example, to the front won't make it visible.  I have to know
to look for it.

** Attachment added: "Dialog as seen if the message is on the same desktop as everything else"
