Subject:Popup windows
View as plain text  
When I am updating a few issues at a time, I like to open them all from 
the issue list in a tabbed browser, then zip through the tabs and make 
the change to each one.  Some of those changes generate popups that, 
when closed, reload the issue to reflect the changes.

If you update another issue before you dismiss the popup, it reuses the 
existing popup window.  (Which, thank you for that by the way.)  But 
then the other issue doesn't get updated.

I noticed in the preferences panel that there is an auto-close option 
for popup panels, but it closes fast enough that I worry about the 
possibility that I'll miss an error message.

I've seen "Beware!  Abandon thou this page and disaster shall smite thy 
changes, proceed?" functionality elsewhere in Eventum (email composition 
I think).  Would it be possible to use whatever detects that to figure 
out when a popup is being reused and have it run the code it would have 
run if I had closed it instead?

I'm afraid I don't know enough about Javascript to know whether this is 
easy or impossible.

Thanks,
Jeff
