I agree on consistency, and hopefully a reduced number of concepts.

The popup bar is the same concept as for findtext and the control panel.
In this case we're reducing the number of concepts by taking out one UI element (injected HTML) and replacing it with a popup bar.
Maybe it would be nice if popup windows turned into something like a popup bar.
This could reduce the number of concepts even further, but not for "Open file", "save page", "save page as...", and downloads.
I fully agree, but a_Dialog_msg a_Dialog_choice3 a_Dialog_choice5 a_Dialog_user_password a_Dialog_input a_Dialog_passwd should all use the same look and feel (and code) either popup window or popup bar based. BTW. How could we handle multiple popupbars?
It requires some thought (on the possible gain/loss/effort)...
One drawback of the popup bar is the additional resize / redraw of the rendering area. Cheers, Johannes
