gui.Window.open() loses opener

[Rémi Destigny]

Hi,

I'm currently building an app with node-webkit and experiencing some trouble with opening new window. 

Basically what happens in my app is : 

1 Open splash.html ( a splash screen )

  1-1 Open the main application ( main.html) with gui.Window.open() but hide it 

  1-2 On 'loaded' event, close first window ( splash.html ) and show main.html

2 In the app i can compose an email which creates a new window ( composer.html )

  2-1 User click the compose button -> open the composer with gui.Window.open()

  

3 The compose window rely on the main window for it's logic, the main window is accessed with window.opener

This works really fine using a regular browser, but when I bundle it inside node-webkit, window.opener is mostly undefined. I say mostly because sometimes ( ~10% ) the opener is set in the compose window. 

I tried to figure out what was wrong but googling on this subject didn't really helped me. 

The things I tried : 

setting the window opener to the current window after opening it => Fail

going down to the first opened window ( the one defined in the package.json ) to call the open() => Fail

If anyone has any hints on how to solve this, it would be greatly appreciated. I'll be happy to give more details if required. 

Cheers
