Attached file testcase (obsolete) —
Isn't this just bug 85631? I any case, that destcase will likely stop demonstrating the problem once bug 84582 is fixed (and we will need a better testcase at that point).

The testcase no longer demonstrates a "continues to block layout" bug now that bug 84582 is fixed, but the throbber does keep spinning until the old load finishes. What would the "better testcase" described in comment 2 look like and demonstrate?
Not sure that we can do better than the throbber thing, actually. Not easily.
Instead of setting the href to "", which refers to the page itself, set it to a fast (data: URL) thing. This demonstrates the throbber issue more clearly.

Summary: Changing href of stylesheet while it is loading does not unblock layout → Changing href of stylesheet while it is loading leaves the throbber spinning for the old load
I still see this bug on trunk.
Target Milestone: Future → ---
Priority: P3 → P5

We'd need to keep track of the channel in the element and cancel it to fix this, basically. Not sure how worthwhile that is.
