134815 - Tab titles get destroyed by links opened using helper applications

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Santeri Paavolainen]

This is Mozilla nightly build 2002040108.

Tab titles are destroyed (changed to "(Untitled)") whenever a link is used on a
tabbed page which uses a helper application, for example PS or PDF file viewer.
(Note: this *does not* affect "Save Link As" or Shift-Button1, only simple
Button1 with a helper application associated with the linked data)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the given URL (http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/cs?q=woodchuck&cs=1)
2. Open one of the given documents in a tab (rightclick -> Open in New Tab)
3. Go to the new tab
4. Click on PS or PDF link, whichever will launch an external program (gv,
acroread, xpdf ...)

This is a dub of bug 108189 and my big tabbrowser patch (bug 113798) fixes it.

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

vrfy'd fixed using 2002.07.25 comm TRUNK builds on linux rh7.2, win2k and mac
10.1.5.

tested by opening a new tab containing links to non-html content (pdf, doc,
etc), then clicking on the links to launch the appropriate helper application.
the tab title remains unchanged (does not change to "Untitled").
