206276 - links to javascript:newWin('pageinfo') works for first request, but not subsequent requests until page reload

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425

I downloaded v1.4b and was using ESPN pages which have links to pop-up new
windows using javascript:newWin().  In the past it either pops up a new window
for each click on a link, or sometimes refreshes the window popped up.  In this
build it would pop up a window, but clicking on subsequent links with the same
functionality would do nothing.  If the page was refreshed, the link that didn't
work before would pop up a window, but no others would until a page refresh
happened.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to referenced page
2. Click on a player's name which calls javascript:newWin()
3. A new window will pop up on the first click
4. Try a different player

Actual Results:  
clicking on the link does nothing

Expected Results:  
opened up a new window with requested data

I'm reporting this from a 2nd/different Win2k computer at the moment, so I
couldn't verify the exact page as I report this, but it happened on multiple,
similar pages on the web site referenced.  The behavior works fine in the 1.3.1
version I just downloaded.

This WFM using build 20030523.  Perhaps try downloading a nightly build, or the 
most recent 1.4b?

Sean, are you still having problems with espn.com in recent Mozilla builds? I
just tried the site and it worked fine, perhaps the bug has been fixed. Thanks
for any updates.

I haven't seen this problem in later builds.  It can be closed.

I realize it's a bit counterintuitive, but unless a bug has a specific patch
that fixed the problem, it should be marked worksforme, not fixed. It's not a
big deal, I'll reopen the bug and change that. Thanks for checking back in.
