Popup in one window blocks another window completely

Project Member Reported by nadavsh@google.com, Jul 17 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version (from the about:version page): 51.0.2704.106
Is this the most recent version: Yes
OS + version: Ubuntu 14.04
CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 64 bit
Window manager: cinnamon
URLs (if relevant):
Behavior in Linux Firefox:
Behavior in Windows Chrome (if you have access to it):

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open two chrome windows. In one of them open two tabs
(2) In the other window, create a popup (alert('hello'))
(3) Switch to the other window, and see it's not responsive.

What is the expected result?
Only the tab with the popup should be blocked. Tab Switching should work in all windows, especially different windows than the one the popup was in.

What happens instead?
Everything blocked, and I had to find the window with the popup and close it in order to continue to work.


Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot
and backtrace if possible.

No files are needed.
It's very simple to reproduce.
Just need 2 windows open, say point to www.google.com
In one of them, open JS console and write "alert('hello')"
The other window become unresponsive.

Thanks for the update.Able to reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 14.04,Win 7 and Mac 10.11.5 using 51.0.2704.106 and canary 54.0.2802.0.
This is a regression issue since M30(30.0.1549.0).

Note : Its working fine on FireFox 47.

Added ReleaseBlock-Stable against M54 looking at the severity of the functional breakage, feel free to modify if not applicable.
Labels: -ReleaseBlock-Stable
Typo mistake on above comment :
Its a non-regression issue and removing the Blocker as its a non-regression.
Blink>WindowDialog team @ : Could anyone take a look into this and update further on it.
Components: UI>Browser>PopupBlocker
Could someone take  a look at this please.

alert() is by definition app-modal.

It's not working fine in Firefox, see e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727801
