Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary: When a website asks for disk space for a HTML5-db and that window goes to the background, it is impossible to close the active window.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open a few websites (e.g. Twitter) that ask for disk space to store a database.
2) Switch to a different Safari window
3) Try to close the window (either using cmd+w or with the mouse)

Expected Results:
The window closes.

Actual Results:
The window stays on screen, the screen flashes and an alert sound is played.

Regression:
Safari 5.0.4 (6533.20.27)

Notes:
The attached screenshot (safari1.png) shows the situation after step 2). Note that the left window seems to be active.
Adding to the confusion, some things (e.g. clicking a link or switching tabs) work quite well, so the problem isn't obvious.
