Compose window does not close on send

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Windows 8.1
Chrome 39.0.2171.95 m
SmartMail provider

The extension opens the Compose window just fine. But when clicking the Send 
button, the window "flashes" (looks like it tries to shrink) and stays there. 
This gives the appearance that the email hasn't sent, but it has.

Chrome's Console windows shows "Scripts may close only the windows that were 
opened by it."

I'd expect the window to close on send as it would do normally when sending an 
email from the webmail interface.

Thanks for your report. I can reproduce your report (with a different Outlook 
Web Application (OWA) server though). Unfortunately I tend to believe that it 
has to do with the way OWAs handle the new message dialog and therefore I don't 
think I can resolve this. (The extension opens the dialog, then everything is 
up to the website. The extension cannot fake the window that normally opens it.
(Well, technically I might be able to bandaid it, but in that case you risk 
other issues as I cannot predict future changes or (version) differences 
between servers with OWA; furthermore it would require everyone to permit the 
extension more permissions than it currently has, which usually scares people 
away.)

I'll leave the issue open in case many people mention it. In that case I might 
consider adding a bandaid after all.
