Hello.

The problem is that windows created by javascript (like alert, input) are application-modal windows. They should not block the whole application, only the page that is currently visited.

Imagine page that is doing something like this:

while (true)
  alert('he he');

It is really hard to close such page.

For testing go to:

It is needed to kill the whole application. If only the page itself would be blocked it'll not be any problem.
