Hi guys,

I'm facing a really weird window problem.
I open a window, I close the window.

All controls on the page that were covered by the window are now unaccessible.
Controls that were not covered by the window are still accessible.
If I move the window around before closing it, then the controls that were behind the window when it was closed are unaccessible.

So it seems definitely linked to window position on closing.
And it's absolute, if the window covers half a textbox, then I can get focus to the texbox by placing the cursor in the other half, while the half that was covered by the window is ... yes you guessed it, unaccessible.

The content itself in the window doesn't seem to matter. I tried using an empty window and the result was the same.

Please note that (at least in my project) this is a global problem with the window and applies to all browsers.
I've tested this in IE, FF, Opera, Chrome and Safari.

I double checked this by updating another project to Q1 2009, and the result is the same there.
