When I click on "browse server" in the linkit window, when the IMCE window closes, I can't click on the linkit window or any other Firefox windows. It's as if they have been completely frozen up. I thought it was an IMCE issue, but I realized that it only happens when using the file browser button in linkit. I'm running Firefox 4 on OS X 10.6.7.

The same issue is happening for me, but I'm using version 6.x-1.9. I'm also using Firefox 4 on OS X 10.6.7.

If I use Safari 5.0.5, something slightly different happens. The browser never freezes up, but when I click on the "browse server" button, the File Browser won't get focus. It opens, but it stays in the background until I close the Linkit window.

The problem occurs on all browsers under Mac OSX 1.6.7.

On Windows machines works as it should!

I did investigate a bit and find out, this is happening because the Linkit Dialog is open in MOdal mode with the window.showModalDialog function. Replacing the showModalDialog with "window.open" the browser doesn't disable when clicking "browser" however, the selected file it is not insert into editor.

Is there someone out there that investigates on that issue? It is a major-bug, unfortunately it make linkit unusable on Mac OSX machines.

Can you please provide which editor (incl. version) you are using, and if you run it through WYSIWYG or standalone. This is very important for bug tracking.

I can not reproduce this issue with TinyMCE 3.4.2 + WYSIWYG, everything works OK in Firefox 4, Chrome 11.

Also with CKEditor 3.6.0.6902 + WYSIWYG it works like a charm in Chrome but not in Firefox, so I finally reproduced it.

As @psifenos so nicely pointed out, the modalDialog thingy was the problem, I just changed it to window.open instead, and it works. It is committed to both 7.x-1.x and 6.x-1.x.

Please reopen this issue if it persists, and since the OP was about 7.x, I'm changing back to that version.
