Dialog: underlay disappear during consecutive hide and show

[jefimm]

The following problem happens to me when using dijit.Dialog when using several dialogs that imitate series of questions to the user:

1. open dialog1
2. in the dialog press a button that closes this dialog (dialog1) and opens dialog2.

Problem: the dialog2 is shown but the dialog underlay disappears. If the window is re-sized then the underlay is shown.

Version 1.3 didn't support multiple dialogs. Version 1.4 does.

If this is still failing in 1.4, then as usual please attach a test case using the Attach file button. Also, list what browser/OS it fails on?.

This fails on FF 3.5.4/WindowsXP. Does showing a sequence of dialogs (only one active at a time) means multiple dialogs ?

I guess that's a bit different, still might be fixed in 1.4.

Anyway this is a dup of #2238.

This is different that the #2238 as the dialog itself is displayed, the background is not.

OK, then, as I said above, you need to attach a test case using the attach file button.

sample demonstrating the problem

[Karl Tiedt]

this is because calling dlg1.hide(); dlg2.show() use the same underlay... dlg1._hideAnim (made up name) is still playing when dlg2._showAnim (made up name) starts... so you have a race condition and 2 animations fighting over what to do... one of them probably ends up failing (the dlg2._showAnim would be my guess)

OK, I'll handle it along with #2238. Yes, I understand it's a problem with the underlay.
