IE8 focus javascript error when displaying alerts on toolbar clicks

[Mike]

There's a very basic error in the latest RadToolbar release. If your client-side OnClientButtonClicked handler calls alert() or confirm() when a drop down button has been clicked, you'll get the following javascript error when using IE8 (doesn't happen in other browsers):

Line: 5012

Error: Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus. Example handler:

 

        function Toolbar_Clicked(sender, args)

        {

            clearInactive();

 

            var button = args.get_item();

            var command = button.get_commandName();

 

            switch (command)

            {

                case "RESOLVE": // command for button in toolbar drop down

                    alert("This message box will cause the javascript error once it has been dismissed.");

                    break;

}
}

There is a workaround - if I do the same functionality on a different thread (e.g. calling window.setTimeout(myfuncthatcallsalert, 5)), all is well.

Is this a known issue? Fixed anytime soon?

Thanks
