Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect)

Description

[Jim Brown]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; OSF1 alpha; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040110
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; OSF1 alpha; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040112

The browser goes compute bound and also hangs the unix window manager when
attemping to load a page using a dropdown menu (QA or Bookmarks).  I have not
tried typing in a URL to see if only the dropdown menus are the problem. 
This started happening today using a trunk build pulled 20040112.
This build of the browser is unuseable.
The 20040110 trunk build works fine.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start browser
2a. select QA/CVS Checkins today, or
2b. select any bookmark item
3. browser/window manager is now compute bound/hung

Actual Results:  
The menu dropdowns stay open, the browser is compute bound,
the window manager is hung, and the selected URL never starts to load.


Expected Results:  
The dropdown menus should have closed and the URL load should have started.

This is using gtk 1.x, correct?

Comment 5

[Jim Brown]

Yes, gtk 1.2 with the "Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkSuperWin' to
`GtkWidget'" console messages.

I'm not able to reproduce this, but you might want to try again after picking up
my fix for bug 230738.

The fix for bug 230738 resolves this problem.
Thanks for the quick response.
