Actual: When you dismiss a window created by showModalDialog the calling browser window stays inactive (even though the dialog disappears) If you dismiss a window created by alert or confirm, it works as expected (the calling browser window becomes active) Expected: When you dismiss a window created by alert, confirm, or showModalDialog the browser window becomes active Note: This problem happens on both Windows & Macintosh versions of Safari

showModalDialog support is gone from other browser and recently from Webkit Github source as well: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/c4bb4d1af89e1ef5f57ef1b1cf7b65ce62c30ba5 Do we need to work on this? Thanks!
