Description

Hi all. Let's say that we have heavyweight window that is opened. Calling "open" method of that window crashes application (exception message says: Unable to start activity). Here is source code that demonstrates the issue:

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	modal: true,
	backgroundColor: '#c96'
});

win.open();

win.open();

Latest 1.9 build (Titanium SDK version: 1.9.0 (01/10/12 17:01 4cb7aff)) does not have this issue (tested with heavyweight and lightweight window), so it can be closed.
Neeraj Gupta 2012-01-11

This issue appears to be fixed as part of another bug fix. Bug reporter has verified the fix with the latest build so marking it resolved.
