Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

Ńote: this bug only occurs on GTK1 with bfcache disabled it seems.
Maybe related to bug 303637.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start SeaMonkey GTK1
2. visit this bug report
3. type some text in Additional Comments textarea
4. load any other page, e.g. http://www.google.com/
5. go Back

ACTUAL RESULTS
the Additional Comments textarea is empty

EXPECTED RESULTS
The text I typed in step 3 should still be there

PLATFORMS & BUILDS TESTED
Bug occurs in SeaMonkey nightly build 2005-08-05-05 (GTK1) Linux.
The bug only occurs if I append to prefs.js:
user_pref("browser.sessionhistory.max_entries", 0);
user_pref("browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers", 0);

I cannot reproduce the bug in recent GTK2 builds.

I see this behavior on Windows XP as well, and have for at least the past year. I am running FireFox 1.5.0.1

Gtk1/xlib widget code has been removed on trunk and this bug doesn't seem
like a branch candidate.
I can't reproduce it in Firefox 3.0a4pre Linux (gtk2).

Chris, please reopen the bug if you can reproduce it in Firefox 3.0a4 or newer:
