Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[ajm194]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (Win95; I)
BuildID:    2000111620

The onLoad handler isn't triggered when a HTML page is first loaded if it's URL 
has an anchor extension on the end to go to a selected point in the document

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto http://booth.lse.ac.uk/test/browsers/mozilla_onload_bug.html
2. Click on first link and see that nothing happens when the page loads
3. Go back
4. Click on the link again, it still doesn't work
5. Go back
6. Click on the second link and it does work but that is because the URL doesn't 
use an anchor

Actual Results:  It doesn't execute the defined onLoad handler

Expected Results:  Displayed an alert box

Looks like this is related to the dummy channel used by the pres shell to
prevent early fireing of the onload event. If I go to the page using the link
with the # the page loads and mozilla scrolls to the right place but the onload
doesn't fire but if I manually scroll the page the onload event fires!!!

Over to Nisheeth who wrote the dummy channel stuff in the pres shell.

Oh, I just noticed that the same thing happens when I submit changes to a
bugzilla bug, the result of the submit loads and the throbber just keeps going
and going and going, if I scroll the page the throbber stopps, whaky...

Bringing in load bugs that seem to be related to the dummy layout channel code 
into the 0.9 milestone.
